it is a bit peculiar, people come to the barn and are upset when I say mask up, so I say if you can't wear a mask, I cannot board your horse.
on of my clients was at work with someone who tested positive and was at the barn before she knew. there were two other at the barn when she was here and I grilled them on were they wearing masks, did they maintain social distance. It was a minor brush with disaster because a contract of a contract is not considered contagious, but it was a super opportunity for me to say mask up or leave.
yet I still walked in to find someone riding and their mother watching without a mask. so yes, the arena is outdoors and social distance but as she went to leave she walked through the aisle, I said why are you going in the aisle without a mask. oh my mask is in the car. there is a whole box of beans new disposable masks at the entry. so she walls up the aisle unmasked past two people to get a mask saying i don't have it. wtf people, its not leprosy. you can be contagious befit having symptoms. of course contagion is minimal unless you are within 6 feet for ten minutes, or at least that is what the health guidelines are, but I dislike the lack of respect for the safety of others. my 80 treat old barn owner provided masks for everyone but never wears his, but having said that he is usually on the tractor which is outdoors and distant.
