No Smoking Policy at Events

The EA has a "No Smoking Policy".  This policy does NOT allow smoking in the arena and in or around the canteen and gear steward areas.

 

Dogs and other animals

It is preferred that members refrain from bringing animals other then horses to the grounds. If present, dogs must be on a leash and under complete control at all times. They are not allowed in the canteen or competition areas (including the showground and grandstand). If owners or riders have dogs in these areas you will be asked to leave the area and risk elimination.
