We run an active timetable of rallies, training and fun activities to cater for the varied ages and abilities of our members.<\/h5>\n

We endeavour to run all rallies and training at prices to break even and they are often subsidised from branch funds. Prices reflect venue hire, coaching fees and how many members are taking part in each session. For Juniors and above we try to keep groups to a maximum of four for a one-hour session.\u00a0 Please view our upcoming training sessions on Horse Events <\/a>or navigate to them on the calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As well as mini training and rallies we offer discipline training – more details are on the individual pages.<\/p>\n

Chief Coach: Pip King<\/h2>\n

Pip is a UKCC level 2 accredited coach and not only does she teach show jumping for the Fitzwilliam pony club but she is responsible for co-ordinating all the branch training and rallies.<\/p>\n

As a former member of the Fitzwilliam pony club she has many happy memories growing up at camp, rallies and taking part in the team competitions. Therefore she knows what it is to be a member and takes the task of organising the training very seriously to help produce confident jockeys that take pride in their ponies, themselves and the Fitzwilliam.<\/p>\n

Pony Club Badges and Achievement Tests<\/h2>\n

Training for the new syllabus Pony Club Tests is offered for all levels.<\/p>\n

Although it is no longer necessary for members to pass Riding & Road Safety Achievement Badge and Mini Badge at appropriate levels before being able to complete Tests.\u00a0 As a Branch we think all members should work towards the R&RS badges and \u00a0we will be offering members an opportunity to take part in training for these badges.<\/p>\n

We also offer training for Achievement Badge \/Advanced Achievement Badge.\u00a0 These badges are now linked into test training for D+ and above so it is recommended that members taking part in test training also attend these badge training sessions if possible with Anna Koch.\u00a0 Likewise the Mini Achievement badge training (Friday evenings with Lizzie) are linked to the lower test levels.<\/p>\n
