What to wear

To remind members of the correct dress for Pony Club events, here is a brief summary. The full rules can be found in the Pony Club Rule Book at www.pcuk.org/Parents-Information/

Hats

 It is mandatory for all members to wear a protective helmet manufactured to the minimum specification PAS 015, ASTM F1163, AS/NZS 3838 1998, Snell E2001 or EN1384. The standards PAS 015, ASTM F1163, AS/NZS 3838 1998 and Snell E2001 are strongly recommended as these are currently considered to afford the best protection

Hats must be to the latest PC standard (see PC website- link above) and must be worn at all times with the chinstrap fastened. Hats will be checked and a PC tag applied

Mounted Rallies

Pony club sweatshirt, plain shirt or branch polo shirt with PC tie, plain beige, navy or black jodhpurs, brown or black boots, plain black or brown chaps. Hair must be tied back or worn in a hairnet. All clothing must be clean and tidy.

For cross-country rallies a body protector is compulsory. Cross-country colours can be worn if preferred.

Gloves should always be worn.

For Fun Rides it is not necessary to wear official Pony Club dress but the hat and body protector rules apply.

Ponies

They must be well groomed, clean and tidy – mane plaiting is optional. Ponies’ hooves to be picked out and then oiled.

Tack
