Does anyone have a guide or previous Risk Assessment for a Baech Polo event? Any advice or reading material would be much appreciated.

James - you could try contacting the organisers of the Sandbanks event - they should have something in place [I hope!]

Hi James

got a funny look from my wife but looked by accident (Honest!) at the pony club website and found this.

which may help. Tweak it a bit for sand rather than grass and should have a good base point.

cheers

James, not sure why you would want a RA for beach polo? Sporting events and participants are not normally covered by h&s duties, except for example, where the safety of spectators may be a concern.
