In case of breach by the owner of his obligations arising from the provisions of this internal regulation, the Horse Riding Club of Nice may require the departure of the horse, 15 days after a notice by registered letter remained without effect. In the event that the Horse Riding Club of Nice suffered a prejudice from these facts, the deposit of guarantee may be retained as provisional damages and interest.

• The type of accommodation (box, paddock)
• The status of the owner (member or visitor)
• The number of horses boarded per owner (a 5% discount is granted for the second horse, a 10% discount for the third and subsequent horses).

The worming will be done according to the program established by the Horse Riding Club of Nice (3 to 4 times a year).

To facilitate these measures, the club negotiates discounted rates with its veterinarians and organizes the aforementioned operations.

In accordance with the current health regulations, the owner must provide the studbook of their equine/s to the Riding Club.

The Horse Riding Club of Nice has entered into agreements with the following external service providers:

• Veterinarians
• Equine Dentist
• Farrier

Under the terms of these agreements, owners benefit from the same rates negotiated for instruction horses, provided that the visits are requested and scheduled by the Club.

Therefore, owners, except in case of emergency, wishing to call upon these providers must contact the stable manager.

Monthly bills from these providers are paid directly by the club and are subject to a monthly reimbursement note, which must be paid upon receipt.

Owners not wishing to use the providers chosen by the Club must expressly indicate this. This choice must be included in the horse's file in the riding club software.

In case of absence exceeding 15 days, the owner must pay an amount corresponding to 30% of the pension amount, as a right to keep the box.

The amounts stipulated above must be paid in advance. In case of non-payment, the Club cannot commit to take back the equid.

It is understood that the owner waives any recourse against the Horse Riding Club of Nice, in the case of an accident occurring to the horse and not expressly engaging the professional liability of the establishment.

The owners' saddlery equipment is stored in lockers rented for this purpose and locked under the responsibility of the owner, who waives any recourse against the Horse Riding Club of Nice in case of theft or damage to his saddlery equipment.

The wearing of a helmet or any other head protection compliant with the European standard EN 1384 is mandatory for:

• all riders taking part in group or individual lessons, including owner-riders,
• riders individually riding ponies or school horses, including owner-riders of a horse in board,
• sports instructors in training and pre-formation trainees,
• all minor riders regardless of their status, including for private use of their own horse.

Major owner-riders who, as part of the private use (outside teaching) of their own horse, do not wish to wear a certified EN1384 head protection must provide a handwritten statement exonerating the Horse Riding Club of Nice from responsibility in case of an accident. Without a statement, it will not be possible for them to ride without protection on the premises of the Riding Center.
The wearing of a certified helmet and back protection is mandatory for all riders regardless of their status and without any exception during training sessions on fixed cross obstacles.

The saddlery material must be stored in the saddleries (cabinets) or removed after each session. It is strictly forbidden to store material in front of the boxes, under the awnings.

Only stable nameplates supplied by the Horse Riding Club of Nice are allowed on stable doors. The use of competition plates is prohibited.

The EN-1384 standard requires the helmet to have 3 attachment points, that is to say the helmet must be attached to the head by straps on both sides approximately at the level of the ears and a third attachment point on the neck connected to the chin guard. The inside must be composed of a thick shell that absorbs shock waves, generally made of polystyrene. For this standard to be effective, the straps must be properly adjusted so that the helmet remains in place in case of a shock. The helmet must obviously be the right size: it must fit tightly on the head without coming down on the eyes when pushed down. If it is too small, it quickly becomes painful for the rider. If it is too big or poorly adjusted, it falls on the eyes and/or can come off by itself. After a strong shock, the inner shell may have been damaged while the helmet appears to be in good condition externally. If this is the case, its protective role will not be as effective in case of a new shock: it is then recommended to buy a new helmet.

Training areas must be used according to their destination:

• longeing is only allowed in the longeing ring,
• the dressage arena is exclusively reserved for flat work,
• free work is prohibited in all of the new installation's training areas until the round-pen reserved for this purpose is completed. It remains allowed in the old installations.

Before entering the training areas, if they are occupied, permission must be asked from the present teacher or, failing that, from the people already present.

For obvious safety reasons, it is forbidden, within the same training area, without the teacher’s agreement, to work a horse/pony either on the longe or mounted during a lesson.

Courses given by the centre’s staff have priority in the use of the centre’s facilities.

When the training areas are used in sections, separations must be put in place.

The lighting of the training areas must be turned off at the end of their occupancy.

In default, one month of pension will be deducted from the refund of the security deposit.
