Clinics

 

Clinics organised by CXC will go ahead as long as conditions are safe. Riders will be informed by email, text or telephone if a clinic has to be cancelled. If the trainer has to cancel a clinic at late notice, clinic fees will be refunded less an £8 administration fee.

If a rider has to pull out of a clinic CXC will do their best to find a suitable replacement from the wait list (if applicable). If, however, this is not possible, the rider will forfeit their fee unless they can find a substitute for their place. All substituted riders must supply their name/address and payment and sign a disclaimer before they can be admitted to the clinic.

All clinics organised by CXC must be paid for at the time of booking to ensure that a space is reserved.

When booking, the bookee signs the Disclaimer for all the riders booking on to the clinic. He/she should ensure that riders are aware of and agree with the terms of the Disclaimer.

Riders should turn up for their clinic in good time to prepare and be correctly turned out with correct body protector, hat, boots etc, and their horse suitably ready to start jumping at the allocated time, unless other instructions have been issued. Trainers may not wait for late-comers.

Clinics that are organised directly by trainers are also covered by much of the above, in terms of signing the Disclaimer, punctuality, etc. In addition, it is the responsibility of the trainer to ensure that Health and Safety measures are met during the course of their clinic.
