Training Day info
You will need to be at the venue by
09:00. Parents are expected to stay. You will need to bring the pony’s passport with you. Please also bring a picnic lunch and other snacks that you and your child/ren plus pony need on the day.
Please email verity@ponyracingauthority.co.uk or call 07887 541 571 if you need a tack and equipment list or have any queries. You are not expected to have race saddles or any specialist racing kit for either your child or pony. However we do ask that all saddles (either GP or racing) have a surcingle/overgirth, every pony has a neckstrap if not being ridden in a martingale and your reins are either stitched or buckled (no billets please). Your pony’s vaccinations for Equine Influenza must be up to date with a booster in the last 12 months.
The Training Day is an assessment day where children and their ponies will be independently assessed as to their competency as a combination. The Senior Assessor will make a decision as to their level of competency and we will write to you following the day, informing you whether the combination passed the assessment. If, for whatever reason, the combination were not deemed to meet the level of competency required on this occasion, it will be necessary for them to be re assessed at a later stage in order for them to be eligible to enter to take part in any PRA pony races.
Please be aware that the participants may be photographed or filmed during this Training Day, therefore it is important that you read and understand the statement below:
