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.

The Pony Club issues new rulebooks for each discipline each year, including rules on which hats and body-protectors will be allowed in Pony Club competitions. It is very important to check these rules carefully, as members not abiding by the rules will not be allowed to compete.

The latest rulebooks, including vaccination rules, can be viewed on the Pony Club website. Paper copies of all rulebooks can be purchased on Amazon.

Parents’ Information

Volunteers and Officials all work together to offer a wealth of opportunities to Members. Parents and Guardians also play a vital role. Discover more in the Resource Hub.
