Pony Club Rules and Policies

To keep everyone safe and uphold fair sportsmanship it is important to have Rules and Policies for competition and to support Official decision making. We encourage everyone to familiarise themselves with the Rules and the Pony Club Policies. Login into the Resource Hub to find out more.

Area Competitions & Selection

Members should make their own individual entries for the area competition as per the information provided by the organising branch. It is also very useful for us if you can inform the Branch Secretary which class you are entering so that we have an idea of who will be eligible for team selection before we receive the entries back from the organising branch.

The DC, in consultation with instructors will ensure that you are safe and competent to compete at your chosen level. Members are expected to attend training regularly and show commitment to the branch to be considered for teams. There may be occasions where a member is asked to compete at a higher or lower level (where eligible) to make up or strengthen a team.
