EHV-1
There is increased concern over the impact of Equine Herpes, EHV-1, in the UK. British Equestrian (the BEF, of which The Pony Club is a Member Body) is requesting that all Member Bodies use a process of self-certification whereby they declare their horses and ponies fit to attend the activity. Everyone will need to complete a self-certification form for each activity they attend - forms will be available on our website
Please note

wear jewellery or hoodies and correct footwear must be worn when riding
only one person from the same household to be transporting their child to training and help with unloading, tacking up etc
other siblings and family members should not attend if possible
