SIGNS AND WAY MARKING

 At the entrance/exit of all rides we put up a sign to emphasise the fact that you are entering private property and to deter riders who are not members of the scheme. Along each route will be 4" square arrows at every change of direction. Please keep to the marked routes and where they follow a headland (field edge) keep to the edge. If riding fast around a field keep your horse under strict control to avoid straying into the cultivated part. If you do not know the difference between grass and seeded field then find out fast.

THE FARMERS FUND
At the end of each 'Licence Year' - 31st March, the fees collected on behalf of farmers are divided up on a pro-rata basis and 70% is paid out according to the distance of each route on each farm. Last year we paid farmers £152 per mile, (20% higher than the year before).We hope this will rise steadily in years to come to make it worth their while and to encourage new farmers to join the scheme and provide more rides for members. The 30% retained by EAFR cover the production and administration costs for: License Tags, Signs, Way markers, Maps, Insurance, Postage, Photocopying, Telephone, Local Agents Expenses and so on.

WET WEATHER - In wet weather some routes will have to be closed or diverted. If damaged, a route may take a long time to recover. So you are kindly are asked to avoid riding on 'heavy' land when it is wet.  

CLOSED ROUTES
All routes are closed on Christmas Day, and landowners have the right to close routes on other day, for example, for shooting or hunter trials. We try to give details in the newsletters. Occasionally, a farmer may need to close a field for spraying crops, or during harvest and we obviously cannot expect him to give us notice for this. He will put a notice on the 'Private Property' sign for that day only.

BOX AND TRAILER PARKS. Box parks are marked up on route maps and sent out to members. Any queries please contact us..

INSURANCE
Before applying for a licence you must make sure you have adequate public liability cover, you will normally find you are covered if you a member of BHS, Pony Club or a Riding Club. EAFR insurance policy for each rider does not and cannot cover your responsibilities.
