Tack, Equipment & Turnout- Rules and Guidance

Correct turnout isn’t about having the newest or most expensive gear — it’s about looking and feeling part of a team. One of our core Pony Club values is inclusivity and positive sportsmanship.

When we attend rallies and events, we represent Cumberland Foxhounds Pony Club together. A consistent, smart turnout shows pride in our branch and ensures everyone looks part of the same team.

Instructors will speak to riders (and parents) if turnout does not meet Pony Club standards, and improvements will be expected by the next rally. This helps maintain safety, fairness and a professional standard for all members.
