You MUST read the following rules and abide by them if you will be joining us for our Around the World in Four Days Camp. Horses must be fit if they are to cope with all lessons planned for the camp. You will need to commence a fitness program at least 6 weeks prior to the camp, your horse s feed will need to increase according to the amount of work that they are doing. If you make an effort to prepare your horse for the camp they will have no problem coping with what is asked of them. Horses that are too fat or unfit will be placed into a very low group or may not be able to participate in some of the more strenuous activities. Horses feet must be in good condition, either recently shod or have had their feet trimmed prior to the camp. To ensure that your horse is comfortable make sure that you clean out their feet prior to your first lesson. This will be checked at gear check. You must provide adequate high energy feed for your horse as well as good quality hay. Do not change your horses feed program at the camp. Introduce some high energy feed as their workload increases. Make sure that you bring lots of feed do not let your horse go hungry. Allow your horse to nibble at on a hay net throughout the day. Each horse requires a waterproof rug in case of bad weather and as protection from the jaws of nasty horses. Regular checks will be made to ensure that all horses are being well cared for. Horses must be offered fresh water throughout the day. Remember to bring your own feed and water buckets (large water containers that are not easily knocked over are more suitable than small plastic buckets) do not share with others, as this is a sure way to spread germs. Please remember to label your buckets. Riders are asked to hop off their horse s backs between lessons so that the horse may be rested prior to the next lesson. Loosen the horse s girth, put your stirrups up and throw a light rug over them so that they don t catch a chill. No one is allowed on the cross-country course while Cross-Country lessons are in progress. Horses are not to be tied to unattached floats. All horses are to be tied to string. Horses are not to be ridden during a FREE or LUNCH Break. If your horse is spending the night in a small yard please make sure that you rise early and take them for a walk around the oval to loosen them up. This should also be done prior to going to bed. If for some reason you are not camping overnight but your horse is please nominate someone to be responsible for looking after them. You MUST NOTIFY the DC, letting her know who is looking after your horse. An emergency phone number MUST also be left in case the horse becomes unwell overnight. Look after your friend And he will look after you!! PLEASE NOTE: Bealiba Pony Club have been running camps over the school holidays for 14 years. We are a small, hard working committee that endeavours to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable time. EVERY FAMILY with a rider at the clinic will be rostered to help in the following areas: - In the Canteen assist in preparing meals, wash/dry dishes, serve and clean up after meals. Around the Clubrooms clean toilets, empty rubbish bins, cut wood, sweep and generally tidy up around the clubrooms. On the grounds delivering drinks, setting up equipment, gear check, helping Instructors as requested.
RULES & CONDITIONS AROUND THE WORLD IN FOUR DAYS CAMP While Full Pony Club uniform is not required all riders are requested to wear suitable Pony Club attire (jodhpurs, polo shirt, windcheaters) approved riding helmet and fully soled riding boots. A daily Gear Check will be carried out prior to rider s first lesson. Only pony club regulation gear will be acceptable. (No sleeveless tops or jewellery) The Bealiba Pony Club District Commissioner may change a rider/s from a group if she feels that they have been incorrectly grouped. The District Commissioner may change the program of the clinic if necessary. No refunds will be given unless a Doctors or Veterinary Certificate is produced. Dogs must be kept under control and leashed at all times. Showers available. Bealiba Pony Club has 40 steel horse yards available for use at the camp. The rule is one yard per camp participant. If you are bringing more than one horse to the camp please bring suitable equipment to build another yard. The oval may be used for horses overnight. The horses must be caught and tied up prior to the first lesson the following day. Portable yards may also be built around the pony club grounds. Camping arrangements are as follows: The four-day camp will require lots of energy, so to ensure that everyone gets adequate sleep it may be a good idea to pitch a tent, bring a caravan or sleep in your horse float to ensure that when the lights go out you can get to sleep. Clinic participants may also bring a mattress & sleeping bag to throw down in our large clubrooms. There will be lights off curfew for riders but this will not guarantee that you will not be disturbed. Parents of small children are required to supervise them at bedtime.

I have held the position of DC of Bealiba Pony Club for the past 15 years; over this time I have watched many riders advance from being on a lead to competing at top level. I can honestly say that the regular camps and instructional clinics are a major reason why these riders have gained confidence, learnt new skills and been given the confidence to move forward. This four day camp is a wonderful opportunity to have consecutive lessons with our wonderful instructors. Four days of Dressage and Show Jumping lessons with Allan and Lynn will help you to become a better rider. As well as mounted lessons our program offers unmounted lessons, nighttime activities, wonderful facilities and meals (breakfast & tea), this is all included in the price of the camp. Throughout our camps many friendships are made, while riding is important so is the ability to socialize with people of various ages. Groups will be kept to 6/7 per group, with lessons running for 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours. I am hoping that most riders will be able to book for the 4 days but do understand that sometimes this is not possible due to other commitments.. Please Note: All camp payments MUST be made prior to the camp; this can be done by direct deposit.
