Rallies are held once a month, usually on the first Saturday. We try to work in with Pony Club who ride on
the first Sunday of the month.
Members are entitled to two lessons per rally – one flatwork and one jumping. Lessons are separated
with an hour’s break (time for morning tea and a chin-wag!). Two lessons of the same discipline may be
possible upon request, but without guarantee. Each lesson group ideally consists of 4-5 riders.
From time to time, specialist lessons including cross country, team riding and games may be available.
This is dependent on interest and instructor availability. Details will be included in the rally registration
email. You should indicate your preference when nominating.
Running of Rallies
• Arrive: 8:00am – 8:30am
• Set up: 8:30am – 9:00am
• Pack up: 1:00pm – 1:30pm
During warmer months rallies may begin an hour earlier to beat the heat. Check rally email for times and
details.
Helper Duties
Each rider will be assigned a helper duty. Set up includes prepping morning tea area and kitchen, toilets,
yards and set up of arenas. Pack up includes cleaning club house, kitchen, toilets, removal of manure
from grassed area, emptying wheelbarrows and packing away arenas as necessary.
Expectations are that all riders arrive on time and complete their helper duty. If you are unable to do so,
speak with the rally coordinator.
