Turnout of your horse/pony
Along with his/her usual tack (saddle/bridle) your pony should wear a black, navy, brown, or white saddle cloth/numnah. Tasteful bling is now accepted within The Pony Club (simple sparkles, nothing over the top please!)
Tack checks/turnout inspection
At rallies and clinics your instructor will carry out the usual tack inspection to check the fit and safety of what you/your pony are wearing. At general rallies and clinics we will not be marking you on turnout as such. Instead we’ll all be making a mental note of who always makes an effort and looks smart, those of you that stick in our minds at the end of the year will be rewarded! We appreciate that, for example, the rallies at Island Riding Centre on Friday evenings are tricky for some of you with no lights at your yard etc. So if your pony has a bit of mud on his legs we’ll let you off, however, for the welfare of your pony we expect any areas tack will be going to have been brushed. Test days and show days we expect you and your pony to be spotless though!

Be as polite and as helpful as possible whilst out hunting and remember there is a recognition trophy awarded to the most helpful out hunting.
