Welcome to New Members of Middleton Hunt Pony Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

For information on Rallies please go to the\u00a0DIARY \u2013 RALLIES<\/a>\u00a0page where you will find the current\u00a0activities list and Rally details, together with information on dress and types of rally available to go to.<\/p>\n

We run a Show Jumping Series aimed at younger children, called the “Junior Series”. It starts at 60cm and is an individual and team competition. More details HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Clothing<\/strong>
\nWhen mounted at Pony Club activities, Members should be tidy. New clothing is not expected, but what is worn must be clean, neat and tidy. Jeans should not be worn when mounted except when specifically allowed by certain sports. As a minimum shoulders must be covered for all riding activities, except for Mounted Games where long sleeves are compulsory. PC Polo shirts and Jumpers are allowed to be worn at rallies and at camp. Our supplier is Sam Spenceley from S & J Embroidery, if you contact her directly for all our approved merchandise. (07946 541005, email <\/span>samspenceley1@sky.com<\/span><\/a> or FACEBOOK<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Footwear<\/strong>
\nOnly standard riding or jodhpur boots with a fairly smooth, thin sole and a well defined square cut heel may be worn. Plain black or brown half chaps may be worn with jodhpur boots of the same colour. Tassels and fringes are not allowed. No other footwear will be permitted, including wellington boots, \u201cmuckers\u201d or trainers. Boots with interlocking treads are not permitted, nor are the boots or treads individually.<\/p>\n

Jewellery<\/strong>
\nNo jewellery is allowed for safety reasons, other than a wristwatch, a wedding ring, a stock pin worn horizontally or a tie clip. This rule will be strictly enforced.<\/p>\n

Tack<\/strong><\/p>\n

All tack must be clean, in a good state of repair, properly fitted and suitable for purpose. Tack inspections are routinely carried out at events and the organisers may prohibit participation in the event if they consider the tack to be inadequate or unsuitable. Individual sports do have further specific tack rules which are detailed in their individual sports rulebooks.<\/p>\n

Stirrups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stirrups should be of the correct size to suit the rider\u2019s boots. They must have 7mm (\u00bc\u201d) clearance on either side of the boot.<\/p>\n

Humane Girths<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humane girths are not permitted in any sport, whether during training or competition.\u00a0A humane girth is described as having non-independent straps that will loosen if one of the straps was to break.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safeguarding<\/h2>\n

Safeguarding is everyone\u2019s responsibility and The Pony Club take Safeguarding very seriously. The Safeguarding Policy signposts a range of documents, provides guidance and key contacts to support those who may have concerns about a vulnerable child, young person or adult. The Branch Safeguarding Officer is available to discuss immediate concerns and you can visit the Resource Hub to find all the relevant documents.<\/p>\n
