Rally Information<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

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\u00a0 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\u2019t need to take one with you.<\/span><\/p>\n
