What’s on this fortnight…

Please could members/parents ensure that they book in online with the organiser and then pay using the booking system. The booking closes 3 days prior to the event. 

Organisers need to know numbers attending rallies and training at least a week before the activity. This allows them time to organise groups and also to book extra instructors if needed.

Tetrathlon Training Day – Unmounted

Attached are the details for a very exciting unmounted training day scheduled for half term. You’ll see from the schedule that we are offering to include a special session for Under 8s but we need to know by 20 Sept how many are likely to come. Please email Penny if you want this session (penny@dmxl.co.uk). It’ll need about 15 people to make it viable.

We are also offering a Pilates session for parents if enough are interested. Again please email by 20 Sept.

The closing date for the other bookings is Monday 11 October.

Competitors from other areas who usually support our events are welcome to attend.

Some notes from the Pony Club Handbook

Please read the rules below regarding rallies and training. Please could team trainers inform the members that they need to have attended at least three rallies before they can represent the branch at area competitions. It would be a good idea that members get their three rallies in as soon as possible. There are plenty of rallies organised at different venues and times.

10.7 Rallies must be advertised at least seven days prior to the date of the rally and authorised by Branch Committees. Nobody can hold a Rally or coach at a Rally unless authorised by the District Commissioner. 

10.8 A working Rally is one at which coaching is given and which is open to all Members of the Branch within the age range or ability level for which it is intended. It may be either a mounted or dismounted Rally. Team practices/coaching do not qualify as Working Rallies.

10.9 For Area Competitions and above, Members must have been to a minimum of three working rallies since the previous 1st July, to be eligible to represent their Branch. Camp counts as one Working Rally.

Horse and Rider – The District Commissioner or Centre Proprietor has discretion in the case of those who are working or in further education. Individual sports may adopt more stringent requirements. Below this level, Branches may adopt their own policy. 

Practices 

10.10 Practices for the various sport competitions shall be announced in the Branch Programme, so that all eligible Members wishing to take part may do so. Any additional practices that are arranged within the period covered by the current Branch Programme, but after the Programme has been distributed, must have the approval of the District Commissioner.
