Rules to Remember Around Horses

• Minors are not allowed without parent or legal guardian escort.
• Do not feed or touch any of the horses without permission from the owner.
• A red tassel on a horse indicates that the horse may bite or kick. Do not approach this horse.
• Horses startle easily. Do not run, jump, yell or make sudden movements around them.
• The Equestrian Area closes at sunset to everyone except horse owners.
• No loud parties or drumming will be allowed in the Equestrian Camping areas after 10:00 PM. Equestrians have to arise early to take care of their horses. Please be considerate.

No horses allowed within camping areas (except EQ Camp), battlefields, and Merchant's Row. All horses are RESTRICTED TO EQUESTRIAN AREA AND DESIGNATED TRAILS. Carts must be road legal to drive on the road.

Note: The trail does go past the battlefield and most scenarios allow missile weapons. Please wait to pass by until waved on by a marshal as appropriate.

Horse stalls

Reserved stalls will be marked with the name of the party who reserved it. Please do not move/remove the reservation or emergency contact sheets. All stalls must be tagged with the owner’s name, cell phone number, any special needs or concerns for the horse, camp location information, and alternate person to contact in case of emergency.

• If you are renting a stall on-site contact an EQ Autocrat before placing your horse in a stall.
• If you are setting up a portable corral contact an EQ Autocrat before setting up.

Parking

Trailer/truck parking is available in the horse area. Please park between the lines to maintain spacing.

Rental Horses

No rental horses are available at this time.

Rider Requirements

Anyone riding/driving in any Equestrian activities must have a current equestrian authorization card from any kingdom. This includes all martial activities and trail rides. A limited number of equestrian authorizations may be done, time permitting, for people needing authorization.

Ground-Crew do not require authorizations, but are approved on a day to day basis by the Equestrian Marshal-in-charge.

Equestrian Equipment

All equipment will receive a visual inspection prior to participation in any Equestrian Activity. If you are competing in the IKEqC, please make sure your equipment meets IKEqC regulations. There will also be loaner equipment available if needed.

Additional Rules and Regulations

Bringing horses into the state of California

The state of California requires that anyone bringing horses into the state must have a current Coggins Test and a health certificate for each horse. Health certificates are good for 30 days and must be valid through the time of travel. While not required by law, it is strongly recommended that all immunizations are current. Horses should be vaccinated no later than two weeks before transport, which allows time for the horse to recuperate and for the vaccinations to take affect.

Equestrian Activities

Organized Equestrian events are scheduled for Thursday through Sunday. Also, there will be an overall GWW EQ Champion. Please contact the EQ Autocrat if you would like to sponsor an activity.
