Equestrian:Event requirements - Day of the event

Day of the event

1. Verify all required signage has been posted in view at the event.
   • A guide to the waivers and signage is at http://www.sca.org/officers/equestrian/docs.html.
   • Signage does not apply to areas and countries that are covered by affiliate corporations.
   • Please note these links are subject to change and the equestrian marshal-in-charge must use the most current forms.
2. Verify that all required waivers have been signed for those participating in equestrian activities.
   1. This includes collecting signatures on the appropriate waivers for those who have a high probability of coming into contact with horses.
   2. For events where horses are allowed outside of a restricted and controlled equestrian area (i.e., allowed to ridden around the site where general activities and attendees are present) or for events where the designated equestrian area includes the entire site, an equestrian waiver must be signed in addition to any other required waivers by ALL event attendees (presumably at the gate as they arrive).
3. If applicable, verify any health, safety and transportation documentation for horses in attendance. (Note - marshals are not required to physically collect these documents, unless specified by law.)
   1. Coggins, interstate health certificates, and/or vaccination documentation are only required to be verified if there is a site-specific or State requirement for such verification.
   2. The verification of these documents is NOT a general requirement of the SCA. However, the equestrian marshal-in-charge may require verification if they choose, regardless of whether or not there is a site-specific requirements, if they deem it prudent due to having horses from different states, recent outbreaks, prevalence of a disease in the area, or other factors.
4. Oversee the equestrian activities, including issues of equestrian participation and conduct.
   1. A marshal must supervise all equestrian activities involving the use of weapons, activities with a high likelihood of horse-to-horse impact, and processions.
   2. The equestrian marshal-in-charge may require (or not) the supervision of a marshal for any other equestrian activity.
5. Remain on site throughout the duration of an event, practice or demo where horses are present for SCA activities. An equestrian marshal-in-charge's duties may be reassigned to a warranted equestrian marshal to allow the equestrian marshal-in-charge to leave site.
