The children will take part in a number of different sessions including both riding and non-riding exercises, teaching them about balance and fitness required for pony racing. If all goes well and they are happy to do so, they will ride on the gallops. If the instructors are satisfied they are safe and in control of their pony.
Ponies attending the day must be microchipped AND be fully vaccinated against Equine Influenza with a minimum of annual vaccinations. Please note that no vaccination for Equine Influenza should be given more than 6 days before the Training Day which means that if you vaccinate on a Monday, you are not clear to attend a Pony Club event until the following Monday.
Please note these days are designed for children who are confident in canter on their pony and aged 9-16. Children aged 8 may attend IF they are turning 9 during the upcoming pony racing season.
Timings are to be confirmed, but we are working around everyone arriving from 8.45am with sessions starting promptly at 9am. The day should be finished by 3pm at the latest.
Cost £40 per pony

No fixed peaks please. Hats are advised for all sessions and must be worn when riding.
You do not need any special boots or a racing saddle but if jockeys wear racing boots they must do so with racing irons on their saddle. Normal riding boots should be worn with non-racing stirrup irons.
All footwear must have a smooth, thin sole & well defined heel (min 5mm) and check the stirrups are the right size for the riders boot with 7mm or ¼ inch clearance on either side of the jockey’s boot.
Please make sure that all boots/chaps or gaiters are not too high around the children’s/jockey’s knees so that they can be comfortable riding with slightly shorter stirrups.
Waterproofs are always a good idea to bring in case of rain and children should arrive in their riding clothes ready to take part in the sessions.
Goggles and gumshield permitted but not compulsory. Whips are not used in pony racing
