Members wishing to ride at a rally must book in up to oneweek beforehand – the cut-off date and booking details are advised to members. Members are divided into suitable riding groups, according to their level, and groups are capped at 4 riders. Instructional rally group details are sent out by email a few days before the rally. Members riding at rallies may be rostered to take turns in helping, eg harrowing arenas the day before. This is in addition to the annual duties tally for which there is a refundable levy.
Recreational Rallies and clinics are organized from time to time,for which costs vary, andmay include: Trail Rides, Dressage, Show Jumping & Cross Country Clinics.

The cross country course should only be used if there are at least 2 people present, for safety reasons. Club Grounds are shared with Wyena Pony Club whose rallies are usually held 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Please avoid using the Clubgrounds at during these times.
