Rallies & Training

We run regular weekly training and a variety of fun and themed mounted games rallies throughout the year. Types include:

  • Mounted Games Training – Wednesday evenings throughout the year split into Juniors (10 & under on 1st Jan) followed by Seniors
  • Mounted Games Fun Rallies – themed and special rallies open to all. We host Christmas, Easter and Halloween specials, amongst others. They are lots of fun and all are welcome, including those who’ve never done any games before and those on lead rein

All upcoming dates and details for each rally are published on Entrymaster and can be found on the Calendar page. Entries typically close a week before the rally and group times are sent by text two days before the rally. Contact Pennie for further enquiries.
