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
