Bengalla Muswellbrook Charity Rodeo

Important Safety Guidelines: Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance to us. Please be aware that rodeo events involve inherent risks due to the nature of the activities, including the presence of large animals, loud noises, dust, and fast-paced action. We ask all attendees to be vigilant and follow safety guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

1. Stay in Designated Areas: For your safety, all spectators must remain seated in the designated spectator areas during the event. Access to restricted zones, including the arena, animal holding areas, and backstage, is strictly prohibited unless you have been authorised by event personnel.

2. Animal Safety: Rodeo animals are powerful and unpredictable. Do not approach or attempt to interact with any animals, whether in the arena or behind the scenes. Spectators are reminded that livestock can behave unexpectedly, and maintaining a safe distance is crucial.

3. Supervise Children: Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children at all times. The rodeo environment can be overwhelming for young ones, and keeping them close ensures their safety.

4. Follow Event Personnel Instructions: Our staff are trained to ensure the safety of all attendees. In the event of an emergency or incident, please follow the instructions provided by event personnel or safety stewards immediately.

5. Emergency Exits: Familiarise yourself with the location of emergency exits and first aid stations upon arrival. If an emergency arises, remain calm and proceed to the nearest exit as directed by staff.

6. No Flash Photography: The use of flash photography or bright lights is prohibited, as it can startle the animals and cause dangerous situations.

7. Weather Conditions: Be prepared for outdoor weather conditions, which can affect the safety and comfort of attendees. Wear appropriate clothing, use sun protection, and stay hydrated.

Assumption of Risk: By attending this rodeo, you acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with rodeo activities, including potential exposure to physical injury from animals, equipment, or other hazards. You agree to attend at your own risk and waive any claims of liability against the event organisers, sponsors, or venue for personal injury, property damage, or any other incidents that may occur.

Medical Assistance: In the event of an injury or health emergency, please notify the nearest event personnel or medical staff immediately. First aid stations are available, and emergency services will be on-site to respond if necessary.

Please note that all ticket purchases for this rodeo are final. Once tickets are bought, they cannot be exchanged, refunded, or transferred. We recommend reviewing all details carefully before completing your purchase.
