Republic of Ireland - Coronavirus Update | 15 June 2020

This advice and information is to help support horse owners and those who care for horses during the Covid-19 outbreak.

The Republic of Ireland has moved to Phase 2 from 8 June 2020.

For equestrians this will mean:

• You can travel a maximum of 20 km to exercise and care for your horse.
• There will be a phased return to work of coaches and riding schools.
• People may practise sport or fitness activities in groups of up to 15 but they must practise social distancing, minimise contact, not share equipment and practise strict hygiene.
• This is limited to up to 6 people in an indoor environment
• All guidance protocols, including social distancing and protective measures must still be observed.
• Those with horses at Livery Yards should be guided by the arrangements in place where they keep their horse(s).
