Not Just A Pony Ride

88. What is elopement? Keeping Participants Safe in the Arena 

The kind of elopement we are talking about today means to leave a caregiver’s supervision without permission or warning.  Elopement is a serious issue because elopement can put that person in a unsafe situation. In EAS specifically, this can be even more serious because of the inherent risk present in our facilities. We don’t want participants darting into an open arena with lessons happening, wandering into pens with loose horses, stalls, equipment sheds those types of things and we need to #1 bring awareness to how we are preventing access to unsafe situations, but #2 learn more about elopement and how we can help keep everyone safe if that is something we know might happen.
