PLEASE READ … MEMO FOR ALL PARENTS, CARERS and MEMBERS

Code of Conduct for Area 5 of the Pony Club is attached. Please make time to read.

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the sport. This Branch is supporting the Area’s Respect programme to
ensure equestrianism can be enjoyed in a safe, positive environment.
Please remember Pony Club organised events are a time for members to develop their technical, physical, tactical and social skills. Winning
isn’t everything.

TEAM TRAINERS decide who is in which team; please do NOT question their ability or choice. Their decision is final.

  • Remember that children and young people ride & compete for FUN.
  • Applaud effort & good play as well as success
  • Always Respect the officials’ decisions
  • Remain outside the arena and within the designated spectators Area (where provided) unless invited to do otherwise.
  • Let the instructor do their job and not confuse the riders by telling them what to do.
  • Encourage the riders to respect other riders, judges, stewards and officials.
  • Avoid criticizing a rider for making a mistake- mistakes are part of learning
  • Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour.

Our Branch volunteers & trainers put a great deal of their unpaid time into organising training sessions & organising the teams for competitions, so please respect them & understand that not everyone can be in the ‘A’ Team.

Thank you … DC Bethan Jones

A note of Thanks from Graham, Ceri & Rosanna Pickles.

Catrin’s family would like to express our sincere thanks to Pony Club members (past & present) and their families for their thoughtful and kind messages of support and sympathy over the last few weeks.
We are heartbroken but gain some comfort from the many fond memories we have of her in many pony club activities. She thoroughly enjoyed the rallies, camps and competitions, whether they were mounted games, tetrathlon, dressage, showjumping or horse trials.
We would also like to thank all the instructors that taught her so much over the years and all the committee members and people behind the scenes that made all the activities possible.

With heartfelt thanks …. Ceri, Graham & Rosanna Pickles.
