Both sessions will start with a thorough tack check. Any loose stitching will need mending before riding starts so please can you check your tack, particularly stirrup leathers before the day. The children will do a bit of theory and they will need a pen and paper. They will then walk and ride the course which will be laid out in the school. Afterwards a theory and practical test will be completed.
Ponies do not need to be plaited but must be SMARTLY turned out. These sessions are examinations and the examiner will expect the candidates to be dressed as such, for the Achievement badge they should be in usual pony club attire (sweatshirts, cream jodhpurs, hair nets etc) For the Road Test jacket and ties please when being tested. If you have them please bring pale gloves and any fluorescent items for the child and pony. Also a pen and paper. Please do not buy anything you will not use again just let me know and I am sure we can borrow what is needed. NO earrings or piercings.
Kind Regards,
Angela

Please could you arrive in plenty of time for your allocated slot and be mounted ready to rock 'n roll! The rallies are all being held in the outdoor arena.
Chelwood Equestrian is located on the road between Nutley and Chelwood Gate and the entrance is on the right hand side, on the sharp bend about .5 mile from the Chelwood Gate end, and signposted Chelwood Farm. Drive slowly down the lane, keep to the right and the farm is through the double wooden gates. Lorry parking is behind the main buildings (lots of room!)
Once mounted, come back to the wooden gates at the entrance, bear left beside the barn usually housing a large horse lorry, down the slope to access the school.
All horses and riders are to be immaculate in their turn out – clean ponies and clean plain tack (no bling!) Riders to wear pony club sweatshirt and tie, white shirt, beige jodphurs, boots and chaps, gloves and hairnets for the girls. If your hat is not tagged, I can do it for you on the day.
Please do not leave ponies unattended tied up to boxes, and please clear up droppings and any spilt hay.
This rally is not a lesson in itself, but an assessment to see what standard you and your pony are at in order to place you in the correct riding group at camp – it also gives us a chance to pair up people at similar standards and also a chance for you to meet fellow campers. I hope you all have a fun time and look forward to seeing you next Wednesday.

C test training - from Claire Fry
20 May, 2016
Name needed for a cheque received!
I have received a cheque in the post to day for £12.50 in the name of Mrs P. Hutchinson. No rally form enclosed and we don't have a member with the surname of Hutchinson.
If this cheque relates to anyone, please can you contact me so I can work out to what it refers - probably a rally, but don't know which one, or who for!
Bit of a randon request, but wouldn't like to think a child will be disappointed at not having a place at a rally as nothing to tie this up with. Thankyou

C+/B training
Hi everyone.
I'm writing to everyone who is aiming for either their c+ or b tests. Hazel has very kindly offered to co-ordinate these rallies in preparation for these examinations. As you can imagine this takes planning and time to organise!
Please come and join in with these rallies, you don't have to do the test but at least you can see what it involves and you never know you may change your mind!! We would love to see more candidates going forward to these tests and achieving what you all deserve.
The idea is to run a course of varied rallies and also some stable management evenings to get everyone up to the standard necessary. Please let Hazel know if you want to put your name down or e mail me on pollythom@hotmail.co.uk if you have any questions.
Please don't feel you have to do the test, we would just like to see some new faces! We will aim to put on a test in the late summer/Autumn. If we don't have enough candidates I will liase with another branch to make sure a test happens. Therefore please come forward if you want to do either of these tests, as we will only put tests on if we have candidates!
Dates are as follows
Polly x
