UNIFORM

ImageEach Pony Club in NSW has a different uniform. This gives each club a different identity at events where there is more than one club competing. Each Zone also has a distinct uniform and is worn by members representing the zone at State Championships. (Should you be selected for a zone team, the uniform will be provided).

Forest Hills Pony Clubs uniform consists of:

  • Fawn jodhpurs
  • Long-sleeved brown shirt
  • White tie
  • Brown V-neck jumper
  • Short elastic-sided brown leather boots
  • Australian Standards Association approved crash hat (ANZ3838 as of 1st January 2002, else insurance is void)
  • Saddle-blanket - brown with white trim and Forest Hills Logo
  • Brown polo shirt with white Forest Hills logo

 

The long sleeved shirt, brown V-necked jumper and polo shirt are available from the Clothing Pool. There is also a fleecy Forest Hills jumper available at the Clothing Pool which may be worn in winter at Rally Days. A range of secondhand items are also available as an exchange between members.

The tie, saddle blanket, jodhpurs, boots and helmets can be purchased from Terrey Hills Saddlery, Myoora Road Terrey Hills.

The Pony Club uniform has been designed with the idea that everyone should be able to wear it with the aim of eliminating the situations where members try to outdo each other with the equipment they have. It is for this reason that numnahs (shaped saddle-blankets), hacking jackets and long boots for riders under 17
years are not allowed.

Please note that the full uniform, including boots and hat, are compulsory at all Pony Club competitions and Rally Days. Points will be deducted in the Club pointscore for riders not in correct uniform. During summer, the polo shirt may be worn at rally Days instead of the shirt and tie and jumper. In winter, riders are allowed to wear the Forest Hills fleecy jumper instead of the brown V-necked jumper - but only at Rally Days and closed competitions.
The Pony Club Association of NSW and the Zone Committee have also determined other regulations for uniforms.

Eg riders under 17 are permitted to wear chappettes at Rally Days, but not in competitions.
There are special rules about such non-standard equipment. You should talk to members of the Club Committee or to PCA-NSW office for clarification if needed.
