Smart turnout of both pony and riders is expected at rallies. Tweed or black/navy jackets, cream or beige jodhpurs with white shirt and pony club tie and badge. Boots black or brown with no sparkle or bling of any kind. Long hair must be tied back and in a hair net for safety at all times. Hats should be tagged ideally at the first rally attended to ensure that they comply with current regulations. Body protectors must be worn for XC and no hats with a fixed peak are allowed for XC. Tack must be clean, no sparkle or bling and ponies clean and plaited. Saddlecloths should be plain and black, brown, navy or white.
Dress codes for other activities will be slightly more relaxed, but it is always expected that ponies and riders are smart and tidy. Please consult the individuals running these for alternative guidance.
