We have a couple of visitors on Sunday…. as some of you may know we have appointed a new Health & Safety Officer Ian Burgess I will be meeting him at GX on the 8th to check the venue and to run through 'how a rally work's'.  He wants to put together a basic formular to running a rally, so first aid, safety of children, parents, vehicles and instructor on the day….If you have any points you would like to make about how we run our rallies or have any ideas about organising/setting up/attending a rally please let us know!

 

We are very lucky to have the chance to take part in this activity and Nicky Collins has kindly offered to come along and discuss with under 8's parents What is Tetrathlon?

 

Riding, running, swimming and shooting (or bean bag/target throwing if under 8years of age).

 

The youngest age group for competing at Tetrathlon in the Pony Club is 8years and under. Instead of shooting at a target with an air pistol these children have to do some aimed throwing. This can be bean bags at a target or into numbered buckets. It is essentially just to get the children used to the discipline of listening to the commands of "Are you ready, stand by, throw" which when they are old enough to shoot are used as "Are you ready, stand by, shoot".

 

At the rally Nicky Collins (Ethan & Theo's mum) will be on hand to offer your child the chance to have a go at the bean bag throwing after they have finished their riding lesson. It's free and just a bit of fun!

 

If you would like more information on Tetrathlon they please look at:

http://www.pcuk.org/index.php/disciplines/tetrathlon/

 

and the schedule for the next Tetrathlon at Ardingly is on the link:

http://branches.pcuk.org/oldsurrey/disciplines/tetrathlon/

please note that at this competition the 8years & under children will only be doing riding, running & swimming but at future events there will also be the bean bag target throwing.

 

 GX has asked that you do not take ponies inside the school unless you are in the lesson thank you.

Ride and Road Safety

To all PC members

Ride & Road Safety

With spring and summer fast approaching (yay) tests begin to take place. Pony club recently have made several changes to what is required before you can take some tests. One change is to when ride and road safety awards are taken. 

If you are starting out and are looking to take your D test the mini achievement badge is required. 

 

In order to take the C test children who have completed their D+ need to take (and pass) their Road safety achievement badge.

Before taking the C+ members will need to complete (and pass) the Road rider badge. 

All awards will involve an unmounted session, mounted training and then for the achievement badge (not mini) and road rider, a test. 

If your child needs to complete these awards please contact me so I can compile a list and arrange sessions. 

My email address is angelabhsai@yahoo.co.uk

Many Thanks

Angela
