We believe that teaching at the club is an important member benefit, and that trainers are on the front lines for protecting the club’s interests, protecting members benefits and promoting new membership.

Member Trainer policies:

Member Trainers are defined as any club member giving instruction for payment
Trainers must maintain a $2,000,000 aggregate liability policy naming the club as ‘additional insured’. Insurance policies are renewed annually and directed to the Club Treasurer, PO Box 521, Carmel Valley, CA 93924
A member trainer may teach a non-member student as their guest, but must follow our guest policy. Non-member students must apply for membership after three visits to the club. It is the trainer’s responsibility to communicate this to their non-member students, enforce this rule, and check the club roster periodically to stay in compliance
A member trainer must have non-member students sign a release form. Please click here for a form you can print out for this purpose or use pre-printed forms you will find in the box at the back of the large arena small grandstand. Completed forms should be returned to the box
Make sure your non-member guest students are aware of all club rules, for example our dog policy and our minor helmet policy (see Member Policies above)
If a member trainer is hosting a clinic or group lesson where non-members participate, an arena use fee of $20 per non-member ($10/youth) participant is required.
Club-sponsored horse shows and clinics (Playdays, Ranch Horse Classic, Roundup, Dressage Schooling Shows) must collect non-member arena use fees ($20/$10 per person)
Checks covering arena use fees should be made out to the CV EEA and sent to: CV EEA Treasurer, PO Box 521, Carmel Valley, CA 93924, or pay via credit card at: https://trailandsaddle.club/contact/ (scroll to Secure Payment)

Non-Member Trainer policies:

Non-member trainers may hold clinics by renting the club for their event, at the rate of $500 per arena per day. In these cases, no arena use fee per non-member participant is required, but release forms must be signed by all mounted attendees. All club rules and policies must be followed, including requirements for insurance, porto-potties, manure pick-up, dog policy, cleaning deposit, etc

General rules and policies:

Dogs are not permitted at any clinic, show or event. The safety of horses and riders must take precedence over dogs
Helmets are required for all persons under the age of 18 while mounted
All youth must be accompanied by an adult
A member can bring a non-member guest or non-member trainer up to three times before the person is expected to become a member themselves
No lunging, spins or sliding stops are allowed in the Dressage Arena
Loose horses in the arenas must be supervised; Riders have priority over turnouts
The round corral is for lunging only and is NOT to be used as a catch-pen or turn-out
Clean up after your horses when penned or tied to a trailer. You will find carts, rakes and manure bunkers at the club in various locations for your convenience
For riders and their mounts looking for regular times that the arenas will be cattle-free, you can count on every Wednesday before 1 pm and all day every Sunday. Exceptions will be any Sunday show days that may include cattle events (Ranch Horse Classic, Ranch Roundup, Member’s BBQ)
All gates should be left closed

CHRIS HARROLD, President

I’ve been a member of the CVTSC since 1990 and joined the board in October 2015. I became addicted to horses when I went to Mohawk Boys Camp near Quincy, CA as an 8-year old. My wife, Judy, and I have owned horses since moving to Carmel Valley in 1989. We ride working ranch horses as part of our small cow-calf operation (a partnership with club member and horse trainer Ray Berta).

As president of the CVTSC Board of Directors, my two top priorities are 1) keep the club vibrant and make sure it meets or exceeds the expectations of its members; and 2) ensure the financial health of the club. One of the (many) great things about the club is the diversity of equine disciplines among our members, including dressage, driving, English, Western, cattle work and more.

Your board works hard to address the needs and concerns of all club members, and I encourage all club members to reach out to the board with your ideas, concerns, gripes, accolades, bribes, and anything else you feel is important. I encourage club members to attend our monthly board meetings, contact board members directly, or provide direct written input via an email from the Club’s web site (including the Suggestion Box on the Board page).

I’m honored to serve on the board and hope to meet every club member at some point during my tenure on the board.
