Rawreth Equestrian Centre has policies in place to protect its clients, staff, horses and everyone associated with the centre.
Rawreth Equestrian Centre is not categorised as public land, therefore the land owners have the authority to stipulate regulations relating to recording and imaging at REC.
As Rawreth Equestrian Centre is on PRIVATE land, it is illegal to take images / recordings without permission.
Each client, staff member and person has a right to privacy.
In addition to equines belonging to REC, many resident equines are privately owned. REC requests that no recording / imaging should include or be taken of any equine (or other animal on site) outside of a Rawreth Riding School session (without prior consent given).
The use of phones / recording devices of any kind is not permitted in any area of REC’s grounds, without prior permission. This includes, but is not limited to, the car park, yard access to the indoor & outdoor school, stables, tack room and surrounding fields. Permission can only be granted by asking your instructor, and in the case of shared lessons - by asking each client as well as the instructor.
Q. Am I allowed to record my child/partner/friend? A. Yes, if the following requirements are met:
You have sought permission from all other clients prior to recording. This is essential with children and under 18’s.
You have sought prior permission from the instructor taking the lesson
Minors, coaches/staff/volunteers are removed (includes images and sound) if you plan to share your media
Social media & sharingWhen sharing media / images taken at REC to any personal social media site, platform (referring but not limited to:
facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X) or similar, REC requests the following:
● Do not share any kind of media that includes a minor
● Only share media that can be viewed as positive - if you are unsure, don’t share it!
● Do not share any media that includes images or sound including REC/RRS coaches / staff / volunteers. These individuals have a right to privacy.
The above should also be applied to comments that clients and associated individuals may choose to make via social media platforms or similar.
REC accepts no responsibility for comments posted by others - HOWEVER we have a zero tolerance policy towards discrimination, bullying and abuse (online or otherwise).
Like us, horses have off days. We should only be celebrating/sharing a horse/ponies achievements - never a media clip of them acting out of character, or incidents which can be taken out of context. Imagine how you would feel if someone did this to you!
Note - horses / ponies do not have their own voice. As horse & pony lovers, we all have a responsibility to ensure horses/ponies are protected, and viewed in a positive way.
