I confirm that I want my son/daughter (Full name) ...........................................................................
to enter and be permitted to ride his/her pony in the above event; I confirm on my own behalf and
on behalf of my son/daughter that I recognise that riding including riding at speed in company of
other children and ponies is an activity with considerable attendant risks. I acknowledge that
whilst the organisers of the above event, their officials and employees, will endeavour to reduce
risks to those participating they cannot be held responsible for the errors of participants or unexpected animal behaviour.
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 my
son/daughter 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 my son/
daughter 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 my son/daughter to be 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.
I confirm that I/we have read a copy of The Pony Club Pony Racing Rules 2017 and that
I/we agree to abide by them.

you can switch the two colours if you wish. For clarity, you may want to
annotate/label and circle designs. Colours may vary from those shown - especially on
computer screens. The winner will be judged on the design and the wording below.
