Pony Club needs adults to organise and administer its activities. Many parents have specialised knowledge of horses and riding. But for the less horsey parent, there are many ways you can be of great assistance. Your own professional knowledge such as accountancy, carpentry, web design and so on, may be invaluable. So please offer your services.

How You Can Help

BE ON TIME
Make sure your child is on time for rallies. Remember, late comers may be requested to remain unmounted until the next session.

BE TACTFUL
Be interested but never interrupt a lesson in progress. If you have a concern with the instruction, please speak to one of the Committee Members or put your concern in writing to be discussed at the next meeting.

BE HELPFUL
Assist with games, groups and ground house-keeping. Please help set up equipment and carrying necessary items. Offer to be time keepers and Stewards. At completion of each rally please help put equipment away.

CANTEEN
Don’t forget our canteen. Your help is often needed even if it’s only for a short time, this can give someone else a much needed break. The canteen is a major fundraiser for the Club.

BE STRONG
Dads & Mum’s can help with picking up rails and altering fences during lessons. This is essential as it helps instructors and pupils to continue with the lesson.

READ OUR GLOBE DERBY PONY CLUB FACEBOOK PAGE
Please read the posts on the Globe Derby Pony Club Facebook Page so you are aware of what is going on, special rallies, visiting instructors, Zone Events and Competitions.

BE INTERESTED
Please observe your child’s progress by listening to his/her instructor so that you can assist your child whilst away from Pony Club. This is very important as you can often remember things which your child may not. Your child needs to practice what he/she has learnt at Club.

COMPULSORY
