2020 COVID-19 PROTOCOLS AND BEST PRACTICES
The following document outlines the protocols, guidelines, and best practices that will be in place during the Mid States Summer Series taking place June 3-7, 2020 and June 10-14, 2020 at the North Iowa Events Center. These protocols have been developed based on the guidelines set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Unites States Equestrian Federation (USEF), and the governments of Iowa and Cerro Gordo County. All persons involved in the shows including, but not limited to, staff, officials, volunteers, vendors, exhibitors, trainers, grooms, parents/guardians, and other support staff must adhere to the protocols set forth in this document. In accordance with GR702.1 and GR914 the competition organizer and/or a USEF Steward/Technical Delegate has the authority to remove from the facility any person who does not comply with the regulations and requirements in effect at the competition. Removal of a person from the competition grounds must, and will be, documented by the USEF Steward/Technical Delegate in their report to the USEF. Trainers will be considered responsible for the conduct and adherence to the protocols for all individuals associated with their entries.

Please continue to be conscious of the seriousness of this situation. This return to competition is not an instantaneous jump back to normal conditions, but a first step towards a return to normalcy. We at Mid States understand these times are difficult and uncertain, but hope that we can provide a product that is as safe and socially responsible as possible until we things can truly get back to normal.
