A DPC cap with an emblem can also be purchased. If you are unsure about the suitability of any clothing or gear, it is wise to check with the pony club before purchasing it.
RALLY DAYS
Rally days’ are our regular meetings and are held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from February to November, including school holidays. Pony Club accredited instructors (volunteers) provide supervision and instruction on the DPC rally days, which include different disciplines, including dressage, showjumping, sporting, eventing and show riding, and horsemanship. Sometimes, professional instructors come along to teach in a particular discipline. Rally days are usually planned with reference to our Closed Competition Days, so riders know what each competition entails, including preparation and familiarisation.
Rally Days start with gear check and two sessions before lunch and one after lunch, concluding around 2 – 3 p.m. Our canteen is open throughout the day, offering breakfast, morning tea, and lunch.
Riders must pass a gear check before participating in the activities. We have a point score system for gear checks, with points awarded for attendance, punctuality, correct uniform, and cleanliness of horse and gear. Only pony club uniforms and gear that are approved by the PCA and in good condition will be passed. The Dural Pony Club Handbook lists suitable tack for pony club. If you have any questions about new or unusual gear, ask our club captain for advice.
OUR ZONE
Dural Pony Club is part of ZONE 23 of the Pony Club Association of NSW along with Arcadia, Avondale, and Forest Hills and Kenthurst Pony Clubs.
Zone Championships are held for each of the disciplines each year so that our members can gain experience at a higher level of competition. Please refer to our Handbook for other relevant information. The Zone may also run regional schools where instruction from professionals is provided and subsidised by the Zone.
The highlight of the calendar is the Zone Jamboree, a two day competition held at year end which all members are encouraged to attend and represent Dural Pony Club, not only for the competition, but to meet riders from other clubs as well.
