Height certificates, vaccination records and passports are needed for all races, and there are strict rules on permitted tack.<\/p>\n<p>Pony racing is open to all members aged between 9 and 15, and ponies must by 148cm or under. As a minimum, members must have attended at least 4 working rallies to be able to race, and all entry forms must be countersigned by either of our DCs, Chris Dee or Jane Haslum. \u00a0To race in P2P pony races or in the Charles Owen Racecourse Series, riders and ponies must be registered with the Pony Racing Authority, and approved as a combination to race.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s highly recommended that all riders take part in race training, with training days organised jointly by the PRA\/PC. P2P pony races are held all over the country from February to June, with the Charles Owen Racecourse Series running from April to October. Pony Club Race Days take place between May to October.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, riders can choose their own racing colours!<\/p>\n<p>For further information on Training Days please refer to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponyracingauthority.co.uk\/get-racing\/trainings-days\/\">Pony Racing Authority Website.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To book into our rallies \/ coaching please go to our Online Bookings for all CVFHPC Events page or click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/cotswoldvale\/online-bookings-for-all-cvfhpc-events\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Manager:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emily Lycett email: ejlycett@gmail.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                                <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/cotswoldvalefarmers\/pony-racing\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from Pony Racing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1152","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pony Racing - Cotswold Vale Farmers&#039;
