​From 1st August 2017
 new helmet regulations come into force.
If you are riding on the pony club grounds

NZPCA Achievement Badges

Picture
This is a new initiative from NZPCA aimed at Junior riders. There are badges for all major milestones of being a junior riding member such as “first pony club camp”, “first competition”, “hunting” as well as two levels of badges covering HM topics such as grooming, feeding, health and saddlery (there are quite a few more topics but I only have so much space!) Rebecca as the head coach is the administrator for the badges and will be in charge of keeping track of riders meeting the requirements and the issuing of badges to successful riders. Some badges require riders (or parents) to complete an application form confirming they are eligible for the badge. Achievements can be back dated to 1 January 2014. Check out the information on the NZPCA website (under the “rider tab”). 

Equine Skills Certifcate

Is a new NZPCA initiative, this one aimed at riders 13 and over.  There are three levels of achievement  Bronze (approx. C certificate level), Silver (C+) and Gold (B). Riders can enter the programme at the level most appropriate to them.  Riders select different electives from the list provided which must be a mix of ridden, pony club service, horse mastership and creative/arts. Riders must meet the requirements of each selected elective in order to achieve the certificate – NZPCA must think our head coach doesn’t get up to much in her spare time as you guessed it, Rebecca is the administrator for the equine skills programme as well. There is information on the NZPCA webpage (under the riders tab).
