DC’s Report:
I would like to start this month’s report off with a Big Congratulations to the
following riders who have successfully attained their D Certificates:
Bronte Antal
Asha Beddgood
Melanie Nicholson
Samantha Rewuk
Amelia Rowe
Phoebe Royal
Chiara Stuart
D Certificate learning outcomes are based on basic horse handling, riding and horse
care objectives. D Certificate is a Pre-Requisite to C Certificate, I look forward to
these riders working towards their C Certificate in the near future. Certficates &
badge plates will be presented at our Rally Meeting on Sunday.
Our May rally has traditionally been held as a Pink Rally in support of Breast Cancer
Awareness. We encourage all riders to dress up in as much PINK as they can, both
rider and horse can be dressed in Pink. We will also be selling Pink items such as
slices, cup cakes & biscuits at our canteen on Sunday, if you can please bring
something along to be sold as all proceeds will go directly to this fundraiser. We will
also have a ‘loose change’ tin at the canteen for any donations.
Finally, a massive ShoutOut to Fatima Malkoc and Genevieve Royal for volunteering
to keep our Canteen running. Our canteen is such an important part of our rallies,
raising much needed funds to help run our club, feeding all the hungry riders and
creating an environment where member families can work together and get to know
each other a little better whilst fulfilling duties in the canteen. Remember, this club
is for OUR KIDS to have a safe, fun, learning environment where they can ride with
their friends, make new friends and have loads of enjoyment. Fatima and Genevieve
are both new members to our club this year and I for one am extremely grateful for
their commitment to our club.
Fingers crossed for some nice weather, see you Sunday,
Marisa – DC

Please email through any results and pictures from future events to
[email protected] or [email protected] so we can include you in

Copyright, we don’t have permission to just download images.
Uniform:
Riders please note WINTER uniform is to be worn at the rally
Winter uniform is the white shirt, brown tie, red woollen jumper,
white/cream/banana jodhpurs and riding boots. It is important for riders to be
in the correct gear at rallies.
If unmounted pony club uniform is still required however dark jodhpurs are
acceptable. Clean riding boots and pony club top must be worn.
New members are allowed a reasonable time to arrange the gear & we
acknowledge that at times we may not have all sizes in stock.
Jumping vests are recommended at MPPC for jumping lessons.
When out competing, we ask that when competing as a team, you all wear the
same uniform for each phase. For dressage, it is traditional to wear the shirt,
tie and jumper, however the polo tops can look incredibly smart when tucked
in and worn with a belt. For cross-country and show jumping, you may wear
either the summer or winter uniform. Rat catchers are now acceptable to wear
with pony club jumpers, but that XC silks may only be worn if they are
predominantly in the club colours.
Do’s & Don’ts For Pony Club:
✓ DO make sure that your horses and ponies have access
to fresh water at break time and lunchtime.
DON’T ride or lead horses in the area where we walk
into clubhouse and have our lunchtime meetings.
✓ DO ride at a sensible speed when in the car park area.
✓ DO make sure that you remain at pony club the entire
time your child is there.
DON’T leave another adult in charge of your child
without writing a note of exactly who is responsible for
your child in your absence, including their contact
details. This note must be passed to the DC in person.
DON’T tie horses or ponies to floats that are not attached to cars. Most
horses and ponies have the ability to pull a float over if they pulled back
and there is no car to weigh the float down
Please remember we are all volunteers so we rely on everyone pitching in to ensure the
rally runs smoothly.
If you are not rostered on we would appreciate helping out during the day.
If you are required to assist your child with tacking up or preparing for the rally, please
ensure you arrive earlier to be able to assist with set up.
Upon arrival please review the updated plan on the noticeboard. Riders are not to change
groups unless agreed prior with the DC.
