Rallies

Rally Information

Rallies take place throughout the year. They are training sessions where small groups of riders work either on all round riding or on one specific area (show jumping (SJ), cross country (XC) and  flatwork. Ponies need to be groomed and neatly turned out but do not need to be plaited. The dress code for rallies is outlined below. Organisers put children of similar age and ability in the same groups. Have patience if this is not always exactly what you would have hoped for, as it is a difficult, time-consuming task! Most rallies require a pony but for stable management rallies and achievement badges you don’t need to take one with you.

Age Guide: Exceptions can be made – please speak with the rally contact if your child is outside the guide range

Non Attendance of Rallies: Please give as much notice as possible of non-attendance of rallies, at least 48 hrs where at all possible. Even at a very late stage it is important and courteous to advise the rally contact if you are unable to attend. This allows us to manage the rides, instructor/venue bookings and costs to everyone’s advantage. Late bookings are accommodated where possible. All Cancellations are liable for the rally fee. Credits are given for long term illness of horse/pony or rider (usually verified by a vet or doctor), regrettably not for a change of circumstances or plans, or short term illnesses.
