2 | REVISED SEPTEMBER 25, 2020
Welcome to Desert International Horse Park. We’re excited to have you, especially because this is our first, of hopefully many, new and different horse shows. There is so much about this show to like: it is focused on riders at lower heights, it is at a different price point, it occurs during our first reining show. This is going to be an incredibly fun, memorable experience in the desert! And it kicks off an expanded schedule for 2020/2021.
Quite honestly, this is a departure for us at DIHP and we’re looking forward to learning from it and expanding on this concept. We have never done anything but an A rated/Level 5/6 Hunter/Jumper show. And we have never collaborated before to put on a show. Sometimes, folks say “stay focused.” But we also believe strongly that we need to help build the base of the sport. And so, here we go. We’re working closely with the team from the Langer Group because of their experience and focus on this type of H/J shows. And we are both learning that each of us has a strong point of view about creating more fun horse shows. Together, we’re excited to bring this show to you.
Since we announced this equestrian week in the desert, we’ve had tremendous positive feedback. And the concept has grown! LAHJA asked the two of us if we could host their 2020 Medal finals.
While you’re here, check out the reiners. It turns out they like it when you cheer while they are running their patterns. Join in by being part of a team for the Dual Team Event made up of a pro and non-pro reiner, a Carousel Hunter Derby rider, and a jumper rider from the 1.20 Stake. Thanks to LEGISequine.com and Valencia Sport Saddlery for sponsoring this fun event! OUR COVID19 PLANSWe have been closely watching all the horse shows across the country and how they have handled the challenges. We are fortunate to have established many strong working relationships with other horse show managers who have been generous in sharing information about what is working, not working, what is difficult, and more. Like others, we have an extensive plan for this season. We have bought the best equipment, researched the best sanitizers, trained everyone, and so on.
Our facility is uniquely positioned to carry on a horse show safely. We have 239 acres of land with 1.3 million square feet of schooling and competition space. Our barns are 100 feet apart and the vast majority of stalls are 12 x12. We have multiple entrances with the remainder of the property fenced in and everyone arrives by car or truck. We have multiple outdoor dining options. Our new judges’ booths are 8 feet wide. Our rings will have separate entrances and exits. There are no transactions that can’t be done online. Everything about our facility allows for easy social distancing.
In the end, our focus will be on the three things that are most important to well-being. By now, this is well documented, and If we all do the following three things, we can carry on safely.
1. KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE – We’ll reinforce everyone keeping 6 feet apart. Given our space, this is not a challenge. The number of instances where people will have to get “closer” is extremely limited.
2. WEAR A FACE COVERING – We’re asking everyone to wear a face covering whenever they are on the facility property. The exception is when riding a horse.
3. WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY – We will make this really easy. I’m pretty confident there will be a hand sanitizer station within reach of everyone at any time.
The details of our plan will always be available on our website www.deserthorsepark.com and updates will be made constantly and in red. If you have questions, just ask. We’ll make it easy with a “ask us” button.
REVISED SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 | 3
No matter what we do, this is a joint effort. We promise to do our part, but we need you to do your part. We’ll clean religiously. But when in doubt, do the three things that matter. So, in advance, thanks for pitching in. By working together, we’ll make it easier and more fun for everyone.
We cannot allow spectators. However, we do not view owners as spectators. Since they are required to sign the entry form, they are part of the competition. Likewise, exhibitors are participants, not spectators. So, if you are a participant, it is okay to watch the competition, as long as you abide by the three things that matter.
Finally, we have a commitment to meet the standards of multiple constituencies and do everything we can to ensure everyone is safe. We will not cut corners. There are also no guarantees that, at some point, someone associated with the show will test positive. And when that happens, we will also do what is required and more.
Join us in the desert! Come for a fabulous experience; stay for great competition! #seeyouinthedesert #desertproud

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING EVERYONE AT DIHP SAFE
F I N D Y O U R D I S T A N C E .We ask that you keep a safe distance between yourself and others. This equates to six feet, or about the same
distance as the take-off and landing stride!
W E A R A M A S K .Unless you are on a horse, please remember to wear a
mask. Face coverings are required at all time when at the horse park.
W A S H Y O U R H A N D S .We hope to make this super easy with hand sanitizing stations within reach no matter where you are on the
property.
