What to bring to Pony Club activities

PLEASE NOTE: 

• There is NO WASHROOM in the barn, so please plan ahead. The house bathroom is available for emergency use only. 
• Please put your child's name on all their items - our lost and found gets pretty big!
• Space is limited, so members should try to pack everything into one bag if possible.

CLOTHING/GEAR:

• Sturdy, waterproof or water-resistant boots are essential. We need to keep our feet protected and dry. In the winter, WARM dry boots are necessary.
• Members are discouraged from wearing "good" boots (things they wear to school, etc.) to the barn, because they'll get dirty and smelly. 
• NO SANDALS, FLIP FLOPS, CROCS, etc. are permitted in the barn area. 
• If your child comes in sneakers, they will not be allowed to handle the horses (risk of getting stepped on). 
• The barn is not heated/air conditioned, so come dressed for whatever weather we're currently experiencing. 
• Members are encouraged to wear gloves to protect hands. In colder temperatures, winter gloves/mittens are necessary. 
• Hair MUST be pulled back in a pony tail/braid, for safety reasons. 

OTHER ITEMS:

• Snacks (NUT FREE), water bottle
• Sunscreen, bug spray (when needed)
• Extra mittens (when needed)
• Pony Club Manual (handed out to new members)
• A binder, pencil, pencil crayons, etc. 
• Treats for horses if you'd like) - carrots, apples, peppermints are all good horse treats.
