Rallies and Training

Riders awaiting their turnImprove your skills and knowledge

Our Rallies are great opportunities to make new friends, meet up with old friends and get some superb instruction from our Coaches.

 

 

 

What are Rallies?

Rallies are group lessons, which can cover all aspects of riding and pony care at all levels.  By sharing lessons with top coaches, Pony Club members can access first-class coaching at reasonable prices. At some rallies members work on a specific sport such as dressage, cross country or showjumping. Others are general rallies where several different disciplines are covered.  Rallies are very social events where like-minded youngsters forge lasting friendships.

 

 

 

 

To make the most of your rallies and training: pony and girl

  • Plan to be ready 10 minutes before your rally start time.
  • Make sure the rally organiser or coach knows you have arrived.
  • As you are waiting check through your equipment – is your girth suitably tight? Have you got your gloves?
  • Take ownership of your own preparation – your parent may be required to set up the rally!
  • Find out what group you are in, who your coach is and where you are meeting.
  • Do not ride off from your group at any point mid-session – you must have permission from your Instructor.
  • Try to help clear away at the end of the Rally.
  • At the end of your rally please remember to thank your coach & organiser before you leave.

A request to parents and helpers:

  • Plan to be ready 10 minutes before your rally start time.
  • Please ask if you can help to set out and put away equipment.
  • Please don’t interfere with the lesson – any problems please speak to a committee member
  • Please also make yourselves acquainted with the Pony Club requirements and expectations  of parents here.

Booking

OUR MOST UP TO DATE RALLY INFORMATION IS AS FOLLOWS

Any Changes to times/locations/dates will be published in the Pony Club Rally FB group

ALL rallies are to be booked with Cheryl Bell, bheryl.b@gmail.com or 07903817270, through the Pony Club Rally FB group.

 

 

 

ALL rallies and training must be paid for at the time they are booked. 

Until you have PAID you have not BOOKED.  

  • PLEASE if you can not make the rally please let Cheryl know ASAP then she can notify Instructors and/or offer your place to anyone on the waiting list.
  • If you find that you can not make it on the morning of the rally it is even more important to let Cheryl know straight away so instructors can make changes and are not waiting for your arrival.

 

CANCELLATION POLICY

  • If you cancel a rally with less than 7 days notice, and can not find anyone to take your place, then unfortunately we will not refund your payment.
  • We do not price the rallies to make a profit, and as the instructors and arena/venue hire still need to be paid for, a late cancellation results in a rally running at a loss.
  • The ONLY exception to this rule is if you are required to isolate due to Covid-19, we want to support everyone following the rules and minimising the spread of the disease.
