Movado Farms, Inc. Covid Response

Movado Farms, Inc.  has been vigorous in our response to keeping our riders, staff and boarders safe during the COVID-19 pandemic 


We recognize that this is a challenging time for all – equine boarding facilities, horse owners, students & families alike. It is our intent to ensure the health and welfare of animals is met, while mitigating the risk to the people engaged in their care and keeping. It is prudent for all of us to use common sense as we navigate the COVID-19 crisis.   To that end, and in consultation with the CDC, CT Department of Agriculture, CT Horse Council and State of CT Guidelines, we have the following barn rules in place:


COVID-19 Waiver

  • All visitors, boarders, clients and lesson students must sign the farm Covid-19 Waiver of Liability at the bottom of this page.  


Schedule, Social Distancing and Face Coverings

  • The Barn Manager has created a Schedule of access times to limit the number of people at the barn at one time.  Boarders and Lessees are to adhere to their scheduled time with no exceptions
  • It is imperative that the principles of social distancing that include six (6) feet of separation between individuals are maintained at all times on the property.
  • Face Coverings should be worn at all times on the property -- especially in indoor spaces including the riding arena
  • Aisles are to remain clear and all horses are to be groomed and tacked in their stalls.


Protecting Our Staff

  • Please keep your distance from our staff while they are working.
  • The barn staff have designated specific stall maintenance tools for their own use and these are marked accordingly with red tape.  Please do not touch them! Use ONLY the brooms and shovels located near the bulletin board in the first barn.
  • If the marked orange cones are placed at the entrances to the barns while cleaning and disinfecting is occuring, those spaces are CLOSED to boarders and riders.  NO EXCEPTION
  • Please do not touch tractors, gators, wheelbarrows, muck tubs, and any other tools needed by staff to work.
  • The main barn water is off limits to everyone except staff. Riders may SPONGE their horses after riding -- do not use the hose to wash horses.
  • The Feed Room and Hayboxes are off limits to everyone except staff


Handwashing and Cleaning

  • Wash your hands frequently during your visit to the farm.  Soap and Water and hand sanitizer are available in the wash stall and in the lounge.
  • Wear riding gloves when touching tack.  Tack (especially reins) should be wiped down after every ride.  Saddle Soap and sponges are available on the table by the wash stall.
  •  Common areas (stalls, latches, doorknobs, hoses, pumps, light switches, feed scoops, etc.) are regularly cleaned and disinfected by staff. 
  • Each horse has a labeled bucket with its own individual grooming supplies including sponges in the lesson tack room.  
  • Avoid sharing equipment and supplies between people.  Students should have their OWN leadrope
