We offer a vast range of rallies and training throughout the year during school holidays, weekends and evenings.  We hope there is something for everyone, but if you see a gap or have a particular request do get in touch with our programme team.

Rallies are group sessions covering a wide range of both educational and fun activities across all skill levels.  Some are open to all ages and riders will be grouped according to the level they are working at, whilst others may be aimed at specific age or skill groups.

Pony care (stable management) is covered either in the test training or through the Pony Club badge system

Training focuses on the competitive sports and is led by specialised coaches for all the sports on offer. Groups are generally smaller than in rallies so that riders gain maximum benefit.

Fees for rallies and training cover the full cost of the facilities but the coaching costs are subsidised out of our fundraising efforts. This means our members benefit from excellent coaching at affordable rates.

How to book a rally/training session:

  • Go to the Calendar to view the available activities. Use the filter to select specific activities to view or scroll through them all to see the full programme, including not just branch activities, but Area 7 and National as well.
  • Click on Book Now and you will be taken to the booking platform with full details of the event.
  • We recommend you register your details with EntryMaster so that the system will autofill, saving time the next time you book. You will receive an email confirming any bookings you make.
  • A waitlist system is in operation so if you find a rally is full, you will be notified that you have been added to the waitlist. Should a suitable place become available the organiser will trigger an email offering you a place to book on and pay.  This place can be accepted or declined.
  • The booking system does keep a record of all your bookings so you can go back in and check. Alternatively, why not keep a note on your calendar.
  • Should you find at anytime that you need to cancel please notify the organiser immediately. If this is within 48 hours of the event please notify by text or call only.  Emails at this late stage may get missed.

Cancellation policy:

  • Rally/training sessions close 1 week before the event, cancellation up until this full refund, less the booking fee, is given.
  • No refunds for cancellation within 1 week of the event, unless the place is filled.

Groups:

  • Groups will be put together once the rally/training has closed.
  • An email will be sent out from the organiser/booking system notifying you of your allocated time approximately 3 days before the event.
  • When putting groups together we take into account many items such as peer groups, riding standards and time requests. We cannot always guarantee to meet these requests, but we try our best.
  • If there are any spare places needing filling, these will be advertised on our Facebook group.
