Working rallies are deemed to be the "backbone" of the pony club. They are a mix of flatwork and jumping, with a fun element included and each lesson is for 1 hour in groups of no more than 6. Groups are selected by age and ability, and when working towards Proficiency Tests, by tests already taken and passed. Stable management will also be included in the Saturday rallies - timings will be displayed on the branch website, including details of items to bring along.

The dress code for working rallies is: For the rider - Pony Club approved standard hat (black or blue), shirt and tie or red branch polo shirt, branch sweatshirt, cream or white jodphurs, jodphur boots, black or brown chaps if required, hairnet for long hair. No coats but branch red fleeces may be worn when cold. Pony - well groomed, clean tack with a lain browband, brown, white or black numnah/saddlecloth.

At all our venues, please help us by taking your turn to "poo pick" the arena and keep the car park clear of horse muck and rubbish. That way we will always be welcome! Also please note at Huntersgate, will ALL cars park on the left as you enter the gate.
