Introduction

Joining The Pony Club's Linked Riding Centre scheme is a great way to expand your riding centre's offering and attract new members. Over 400 Centres across the UK have already signed up and are enjoying the great benefits that they can offer to their members and coaches!

Benefits of being a Linked Riding Centre

How do we become a Linked Riding Centre?

To get started, your riding centre will need to have the following in place:

• Current Riding School licence
• Current Public Liability insurance
• Risk Assessments and Fire Risk Assessments for your Centre

All of your unsupervised Pony Club Coaches must have:

• An Enhanced DBS check within the last three years
• A Safeguarding course within the last three years
• Current First Aid qualification
• Attendance at a Pony Club CPD course at least once every two years (this can be worked on in your first year of becoming a Centre)

One of our Centre Coordinators will visit you initially to help get everything set up. Once this is completed and the relevant fees are sorted, you'll be ready to launch!
