Rally Etiquette

 

  • Please read the Pony Club codes of conduct for members and parents/guardians.
  • Sometimes last minute changes have an effect on the final groups. Where possible we will try to fill spaces and re-organise groups, but often this is not possible and in these cases the rally groups may not look as balanced as we had planned.
  • Please take responsibility for clearing up after your pony (and yourself) both in and out of the arena.
  • Please drive and park with care. Avoid grass areas unless told to use them. If in doubt, ask first!
  • Haynets to stay inside of your trailers.
  • Do not tie ponies to the outside of trailers and leave unattended.
  • Do not enter the arena unless invited by the instructor. Also, ask if mounted or unmounted upon entry.
  • Do offer assistance with poles etc.
  • Offer to help with jumps if unmounted and put equipment away at the end of a rally.
  • Make sure you thank the instructor (and venue owner, if appropriate) on departure.
  • Check correct attire is worn for the session booked. If XC, make sure a non-fixed peak worn and a current standard body protector. Tack and turnout – What to wear

Groups:

Groups will be put together once the rally/training has closed. An email will be sent out from the organiser/booking system notifying you of your allocated time approximately 2 days before the event.

When putting groups together we take into account many items such as peer groups, riding standards and time requests. We cannot always guarantee to meet these requests, but we try our best. If there are any spare places needing filling, these will be advertised on our Facebook group.
