Reference training camp
Don’t forget that Pony Club rules apply, as they do at all other camps, we expect your horse to be well looked after, groomed and mucked out to a high standard and tack should be cleaned. You will need to bring hard feed and hay/haylage for your horse but bedding will be provided. Mucking out and grooming equipment will also be needed.
The dress code for the training camp is more relaxed, you are allowed to wear coloured or beige jods, you do not need to wear a tie and jacket. However, it is important to keep up standards so please try to look clean and tidy.
Don’t forget body protectors. Hoodies are NOT to be worn when riding.
Accommodation is in shared caravans, horseboxes or tents provided by members, please organise this yourselves.
Parents will be expected to help with meals and cover the evening supervision.
We will be going out for the evening meal.
