Your support of GSCA…

is greatly appreciated during these unusual times. We all are looking forward to more normal seasons again with lots of outings.

The club anticipates hosting a number of exciting outings in 2021! All of our endeavors will be subject to the guidelines provided by our state authorities. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the GSCA board has developed a COVID-19 action plan so that we can still host safe activities.

Please read the GSCA COVID-19 Action Plan and understand the requirements and recommendations for the Host(s), participants and spectators in order to engage in a GSCA Outing. Masks are required if you cannot social distance, and no food will be served so bring your own.

There are new Liability Release forms for both Adults and Minors requiring you to initial that you have read the GSCA COVID-19 Action Plan.

Everyone attending a GSCA Outing must provide a signed and initialed Liability form, including guests and spectators on the grounds.

You must be a current GSCA member in order to drive, ride, or handle/harness/hitch/tack up a horse at any GSCA Outing (per GSCA's insurance carrier.)

As the situation with the current pandemic is fluid, please stay in contact with your Outing Host regarding requirements for activities that interest you.

Please join us (pay your GSCA membership now), and Register for Outings (send your signed Liability forms to the Host) to help with social distancing.
