Codes of Conduct

Coaches

Coaches, instructors and trainers play a crucial role in the development of the equestrian sport and in the lives of riders that they teach and support. Coaches help to ensure that members of the Pony Club have positive experiences, and therefore have an influence on members to continue in equestrian activity and achieve their potential. The Code of Conduct for Coaches is built on the principles of integrity, honesty, fair play and respect, and sets out the standards that coaches are required to meet. These principles are integral and apply to all levels of ability and commitment with the welfare of members and their horses / ponies at the centre. See here for full info.
