NHEC- OWN-A-PONY DAY

The "owner" must abide by the following conditions for their own safety and the well-being of "their" pony or horse.

• Ride for up to 2 hours each day as the pony may have work with NIHEC riders. It is not necessary to ride every day as the pony will need a rest day.

• No riding between 12.30 and 2.00 (lunch time) or after 5.30 unless at school/work.

• Ask a NHEC staff member to check your tack before leaving the yard.

• Exercise in the following areas only:

Little Meadow
School
Arenas One or Two

Newton Hall Arena

Please shut all gates behind you.

• Only hack out with NHEC staff permission. This is to be around Newton Hall fields with a suitable (senior) companion.

• You may join organised hacks with NHEC staff permission. This is best booked at least 24 hours in advance via the office, and will incur a fee of £3.50.

• Do NOT make your pony blow or sweat unduly and do NOT jump more than 6 fences in one day. Please do not cut up the ground.

• Look after "your" pony as much as you can. Please groom, clean tack, pick out feet after work and help with stable yard duties. Staff will help you.

• Have a good, safe time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask a member of the NHEC staff..
