(sweatshirts & PC jackets are available from Iona Pierce ) and beige jodhpurs with leather shoes or jodhpur boots, or breeches and either leather or rubber riding boots, a suitable shirt and the official Pony Club tie. In the interests of safety, wellington boots or plimsolls should not be worn. Boots with heavy treads should also not be worn.

HEADGEAR … Hard hats must be worn at all times when mounted. Only hats or skull caps to BSI. kite mark standard PAS.015.1998 European Standard BS EN 1384 1997 or EN 1384 1996 or Snell E2001, AS/NZS 3838 1998 or AS/NZS 3838 2003 can be worn .No other standard will be allowed.

Hair should be worn in a net. Long hair must be tied back in a plait or plaits with plain dark bands and preferably very long hair twisted up into a bun.

JACKETS … Tweed hacking jackets, the official Red Pony Club sweat shirts or Black Pony Club Jackets to be worn at rallies. Anoraks and bulky coats are fine for home but not for rallies as it makes it difficult for the instructor to see how you are riding. Barbour type coats if wet or very cold. When cold plenty of layers underneath are the warmest. A Sparkling Pony Club badge on lapel.
