The pony club are upheld as setting the standard for horse care and safety etc
I noticed that even if your saddle slips whilst showing in the most pedestrian of flat classes and you take the slowest of slow motion falls you are immediately eliminated from a class
I was therefore startled to see a pony club mounted games competitor take a heck of a fall at speed and hit the arena sidewall. be led away by a medic only to be brushed down by a parent/trainer and sent back out on the pony
Why the difference in rules - does anyone know? Obviously it's different societies involved I understand that but in most competition nowadays a fall spells elimination
