Dear Camper:

We’d like to know a bit more about you and your pony so we can ensure we have the right arrangements in place to enable camp to run smoothly and you to have the best possible time.

PONY’S NAME: ………………………………………. (The name you call him at home)

PONY’S AGE: …………………………………………

So we can try and get the right arrangement of ponies in the stables we need some extra information:

1.  Are there any other ponies, that are coming to camp, who are stable/field companions at home and get along well?

2.  Is your pony likely to show threatening behaviour to other ponies?

3.  Any other information you think we need to know.

Other stable matters:

1.  Will your pony need soaked hay?

2.  Is your pony difficult to catch and/or will need their headcollar left on in the field?

3. If your pony requires any hard feed this must be made up (but not damped

down!) in individual plastic bags clearly marked with your pony’s name.
