HUNTING 2012
Parents & Children please read carefully
Beaufort Hunt Pony Club members are very welcome out hunting, but in view of the risks involved those coming out without parents to accompany them MUST follow these strict instructions: You must ALL telephone Mr Maidment, 01666 823292, our Hunt Secretary, to ask permission to come out (other than the Children’s Meet); those who have not passed their `C’ Test MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times. If your parents do not hunt and you have no adult who will be responsible for you, please telephone Mrs Rose and discuss the situation with her. ALSO whether you have passed your `C’ test or not and you have a pony that you have not hunted before, you must go with an adult the first time to make sure the pony is safe. Any child not in control will be asked to go home.
