Poo picking:
- A refundable Poo Pick Deposit of £20.00 is included with your booking.
- You must have someone with you to poo pick. There is no exception to this rule.
- The arena must be thoroughly poo picked as each dropping is done, and not just at the end of the hire period. This is to prevent it being ridden through and scattered.
- All remnants of droppings must be removed, no matter how small. We prefer you to take small amounts of surface than leave bits of droppings.
- If you are sharing the arena with other bookings, you must all co-operate and work together to ensure the arena is clear of droppings. This is a joint responsibility, and any droppings left may result in nobody having their Deposit refunded. Contact Keysoe Reception at the time to report any issues.
- The arena is checked for cleanliness by our experienced grounds team at the end of each booking. If the area is clean and clear of droppings then a refund of the Deposit will be issued within 7 days.
Please note:
- All prices shown include VAT
- A non-refundable administrative booking charge of £2.00 to cover transaction fees will be added to each order at checkout
- Cancellations made less than 4 weeks (28 days) before your booking will not be refunded. Click here for our full Terms & Conditions.
- Private clinics are not permitted for this type of booking. If you are an instructor wishing to conduct training, please contact the office.
