2 TEAMS Members and horse/pony combination must have attended THREE WORKING RALLIES to be eligible for teams. This is a Pony Club Rule Any members interested in being in teams should contact Alan Phillips or Alison Mozejko, or for other disciplines, the DC. We welcome all members, teams will be picked with priority from those who attend training sessions. Some competitions have teams suitable for novice combinations therefore we can often enter a number of teams. Leave the team selection to the organisers! We all have to start somewhere and being keen to compete in teams is very important. Show Jumping: Alison Mozejko Horse Trials/ODE Alison Mozejko Flatwork Mary Groombridge Other disciplines and Quiz: Alan Phillips WORKING RALLIES LPC s Working Rallies are aimed at passing PC tests and include horse care (stable management) Please book in with Val Pocock using the booking forms on the LPC website. Let either Val or Alan know if you are NOT able to attend a Working Rally you have previously booked in for, as we need to book/cancel instructors. Contacts: Mary Groombridge for Combined Training and Flatwork rallies and Alison Mozejko for Cross Country & Showjumping rallies. These are training rallies and are not to be confused with Working Rallies. Do not leave your pony tied up outside unattended at any rally or PC event including shows as they may get caught up or escape!! Also please park sensibly, close any outside gates and clear up any mess around your trailer/lorry. Young children not riding must be kept to permitted areas only and not allowed to wander. Before each rally, tack will be inspected to ensure it is safe and well fitting. Riders will also be inspected for correctness and smartness of dress. Correct dress is: Tagged hat (dark, plain silk), PC (Yellow) sweatshirt and/or white shirt and PC tie and/or riding jacket, cream jodhpurs, jodhpur or riding boots. Please refer to our website or our Facebook page for further information.

3 Hat tagging is compulsory, all hats must be tagged to confirm they comply with current Pony Club Safety Standards (this will be done at rallies).
