Hi everyone,
Important Information
For health and safety reasons children will be require to attend two working rallies prior to attending Pony Club Camp so that instructors are able to assess the pony/horse and child combination.
The last two working rallies before Pony Club Camp will be on May 14th and there will be another one in June. So if you want your child to attend camp please ensure you make every effort to attend these rallies.
Hat check- Before the next time you ride at Pony Club you will need to have your hats checked and tagged for the season. This is required for hats previously tagged or any new hats or members. Please ask Hayley Travers or Nicki Eastlake-Bent.
When you are putting your child’s name down for events – please use a separate email per event. Thanks
