Gear Check Rule 10.13

To Pony Club members:


The April State Council Meeting discussed the rule regarding wearing of Competitor numbers. Some members of the council feel it should be changed back to read that riders no longer have the choice as to what competition numbers they wear, with the exception of cross country. This rule was developed at the request of the riders during the survey conducted a few years ago who overwhelmingly suggested that they wanted to have a choice to use saddle or bridle numbers.


I am interested in representing the views of riders so ask that you respond to this email.


You have two choices either click the Yes button above if you agree with the current rule ( 10.13) or the No button above if you would like to revert to the old rule where you have no choice. The buttons are situated on the bottom tool bar line.


Your vote will be presented to the June State Council Meeting.





Please forward this email onto all pony club riders and members.





The Current rule reads

chest and back for cross-country
