1. All children under 8 years of age must have an adult responsible for them on site at all times. All children need to have a designated responsible adult if parents/guardian are not able to attend camp - please complete on booking form.

2. For Safety Purposes it is important that you inform the Organiser or Duty Committee Member if for any reason your child will be absent from camp. Please also speak to them if you have any queries or concerns about camp.

3. Hay is NOT provided. Members whose ponies need hay or hard feed must bring their own, and a feed bucket. Your trailer will be used as a base for your pony and kit. Please make sure you have adequate string to tie up your pony to. Ponies should be tied so that they cannot eat grass. Please 'poop scoop' from around your trailer to ensure the ground is left clean.

4. Your child will need a packed lunch each day (except on the day of the barbecue). This can be eaten in one of the large tents on the field.

5. Every family should take a turn at supervising lunch and with morning and afternoon refreshments each day so please look at Rota on caravan window to find your duty time. Please complete your availability on the booking form.

6. Ponies and riders will be inspected daily for cleanliness and turnout. Before camp ponies manes and tails should be washed and ponies cleaned to help your children gain turnout points.

7. Body protectors are obligatory for all Pony Club cross-country including rallies and camp. They are not compulsory for show jumping but advisable. We will have cross-country schooling at camp this year. If you have any queries about this please speak with one of the instructors who will be happy to advise.

8. Horses/ ponies with no hind shoes can be booked for overnight turnout - any horse/pony at camp with hind shoes on will have to go home at night.
