PARENTS/GUARDIANS DECLARATION:

I accept that it is a condition of entry that the rider will do his/her best to conduct him/herself and to ride his/her pony in such a way as to minimise risk of injury to him/herself and to other riders, their ponies and spectators.  I have impressed the need for good and sensible behaviour on the rider and have checked his/her pony, tack and other equipment to ensure that all is in order and that nothing about the pony’s tack or other equipment presents a danger to the rider or to other riders or ponies participating in the race or to the organisers, officials, employees or others watching the race.

I understand riding is a risk sport.  I am aware there is risk of injury.  In the knowledge of this I confirm that I believe the rider is a competent Rider who is capable of riding in The Pony Club Race Day and subsequently I am happy for him/her to participate.  He / she is in good mental and physical health and I know of no condition that would currently preclude them from riding in Pony Races.  I accept and agree to abide by The Pony Club Racing Regulations and confirm that the information provided is correct.
