GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS


The Pony Club is a world wide, voluntary youth organisation, founded over sixty years ago to:

  • Encourage young people to ride and to learn to enjoy all kinds of sport connected with horses and riding.
  • To provide instruction in riding and horsemanship, and to instil in members the proper care of their animals.
  • To promote the highest ideals of sportsmanship, citizenship and loyalty, thereby cultivating strength of character and self-discipline.

The Irish Pony Club is committed to providing a safe and fair environment for all members. Our first priority is the welfare of Members and we are committed to providing an environment, which will allow participants to perform to their best ability, free from bullying and intimidation.
The Irish Pony Club also has a duty to care for volunteers working with young people on behalf of the organisation.

The contribution of parents in this work is highly appreciated especially within the Shillelagh and District Hunt Branch. As riding is a high-risk sport we appeal to parents to help us by observing the following rules: 
At all Pony Club activities the District Commissioner is the person in charge. In his/her absence the Secretary is in charge and may enlist the help of the Senior Instructor if needed. If neither can attend, the District Commissioner will appoint an official representative who will be responsible for the activity.
Only hats marked with: PAS 015 (with BSI Kitemark or SEI), EN 1384 (with BSI Kitemark or SEI) and ASTM F1163 (with SEI) are approved for Pony Club activities. Crash helmets must be worn for cross-country riding. Hats must be worn with chinstrap correctly fastened at all times when mounted. The hat should fit the head firmly but comfortably. If a hat suffers a severe blow then it should be discarded and replaced.
Body protectors must be worn for all jumping (Show jumping and cross country).
Please check all tack for safety and fit regularly, paying particular attention to stitching and places where the leather is in regular contact with metal parts. Also please check the length of the girth – there should be at lease three holes spare on each side, above and below the buckles. These are always checked at rallies before riding as a matter of course, but if found to be ill fitting or unsafe it may be that the member will not be able to ride.
Parents are always welcome at all Pony Club activities but please stay 20 yards back while riding is in progress. Please do not distract and confuse your child by talking to them or attracting their attention in any way whilst they are in the care of their instructor.
If a parent cannot attend a rally/training session please designate an adult who will be present, to be responsible for your child in the event of an accident.
All points of discussion, queries, problems and suggestions should be brought directly to the District Commissioner. Instructors are briefed to refer parents to the District Commissioner or Secretary or acting official under all circumstances.
At the end of a riding session all riders will dismount, run up their stirrups and await their instructor’s directions. With the exception of the very young group who will remain mounted and under the supervision of their instructor until ponies are safely loaded or tied up. NO ONE WILL RIDE AFTER THIS TIME. This includes siblings and friends etc.
Only paid up members of the Pony Club, Instructors or nominated helpers may ride at Pony Club activities.
At the finish of a rally (or finish time at camp), the parents will please collect their children promptly as they are then officially the parent’s responsibility and history has shown this is one of the high-risk times for members and their ponies/horses.
If you bring unmounted siblings, friends or relatives to a rally please ensure that they are properly supervised and where appropriate understand the above rules of safety.
Pony Club Tests: The District Commissioner with advice from the Instructor will decide when a member is ready to take the Pony Club Standards of Efficiency Tests.
Team Selection: is the responsibility of the District Commissioner. He/she will appoint a Selector’s Panel for the purpose of selecting teams. Any person who has an interest in a competitor should stand down for that particular selection.
Parents help is needed with the running of Pony Club activities i.e. finding venues for Pony Club rallies, camp and competitions, Fund-raising, Building/Maintaining cross country course, Maintaining show jumps / Mounted Games equipment, Stewarding fences etc. when we host competitions and most important with Catering at rallies, camp and for competitions.
Be a role model for your child and maintain the highest standards of conduct when interacting with children, other parents, with officials and organisers.
Encourage your child to abide by the rules of the Irish Pony Club.
Parents should support all efforts to remove abusive and bullying behaviour in all its forms:
Child to Child – includes physical aggression, verbal bullying, intimidation, or isolation.
Adult to Child – includes the use of repeated gestures or expressions of a threatening or intimidating nature, or any comment intended to degrade a child.
Adult to Adult – includes verbal aggression towards other adults in order to achieve a beneficial outcome for self or own child.
Child to Adult - includes repeated gestures or expressions of a threatening or intimidating nature by an individual child or a group of children.

Joomla! is all about allowing you to create a site that matches your vision. The possibilities are limitless; this sample site will get you started.

There are a few things you should know to get you started.

Every Joomla! Web site has two parts: the Site (which is what your site visitors see) and the Administrator (which is where you will do a lot of the site management). You need to log in to the Administrator separately with the same username and password. There is a link to the administrator on the top menu that you will see when you log in.

You can edit articles in the Site by clicking on the edit icon. You can create a new article by clicking on the Create Article link in the top menu.

To do basic changes to the appearance your site click Home, Site Settings and Home, Template Settings.

To do more advanced things, like edit the contact form, manage users, or install a new template or extension, login to the Administrator.

Some quick tips for working in the Administrator

  • To change the image on all the pages: Go to the Module Manager and click on Image Module.
  • To edit the Side Module: Go to Extensions, Module Manager and click on Side Module.
  • To edit the Contact Form: Go to Components, Contacts. Click on Your Name.

Once you have your basic site you may want to install your own template (that controls the overall design of your site) and then, perhaps additional extensions.

There is a lot of help available for Joomla!. You can visit the Joomla! forums and the Joomla! documentation site to get started.
