We are asked to poo pick the school and place droppings into the skips provided in the corner of the arena.

Sarah Muggeridge will be instructing and any help with setting up jumps would be much appreciated.

 

Chelwood Equestrian can be found on the road between Nutley and Chelwood Gate, and the access is on a sharp bend, but is signposted. Follow the drive down to the 5 bar gate, and then continue past the buildings to the lorry park on the righthand side – there is lots of parking, and again the area to be cleared of hay and droppings.  To access the indoor school, turn left out of the lorry park and then bear left up a short track that goes between the buildings to the school entrance.

Please shut all gates behind you.  Horses are not to be left unattended tied to trailers/lorries.

 

There are toilets on site.  There is also a kitchen area we can use, but you will need to bring your own tea, coffee, milk etc. – quite civilised!!

Update on hat standards and back protectors ruling for 2016

Dear Members and Parents  Headquarters have now made a decision with regard to hat standards.  As previously advised, the hat standard BS EN 1384 has been removed as an accepted hat standard from 1st January 2016.  The hat standards accepted as from 1st January 2016 are as follows:-    PAS 015: 1998 or 2011* with BSI Kitemark.  VG1 with BSI Kitemark.  Snell E2001* with the official Snell label and number.  ASTM-F1163 2004a with the SEI mark.  AS/NZS 3838 1998, 2003 or 2006  *The PAS 015: 1998 or 2011 and the Snell E2001 meet higher impact criteria and therefore give more protection.  We are now accepting the new red BE hat tags, so if Members have BE red tagged hats, they will not need tagging with a white Pony Club hat tag.  Please check your hats to make sure they comply with the accepted standards.    Body protectors used for cross country and pony racing must meet BETA 2009 Level 3 standard (purple label).    Many thanks.  Anne Cook
