Study Days

What are Mounted Games Study Days?

Mounted Games Study Days are aimed to inform members, trainers and parents of the rules for the games to be played in that year. They are a great opportunity for everyone to see the new Area and Zone games for the forthcoming season and there is always a Pony Club Official on hand to answer any queries.

Becoming a Mounted Games Trainer

To start training a branch or centre team or pairs you will first need to be listed on the Pony Club Coaching Database. To achieve this you need to meet the Coaching criteria and liaise with the Branch District Commissioner or Centre Proprietor.

The Mounted Games Study Days can support Trainers (coaches) as CPD.

Tetrathlon Shooting Courses

Below are the accepted shooting courses to be a Pony Club Range Conducting Officer, and Shoot Instructor.

It is recommended (and will become mandatory in 2025 Rulebook) that when hosting Pony Club shooting (Training or Competition), a qualified Range Conducting Officer (RCO) should be present. This is the person that is responsible for the safety of the shooting event. We also recommend that you have an NSRA qualified shooting instructor present as well. Please note that even with a qualified shoot instructor, the NSRA recommend that you also have an RCO present. The RCO will have the responsibility of following the shooting protocol which is detailed in the Pony Club Tetrathlon Rulebook.

There are two types of qualifications – a Range Conducting Officer (RCO) and a Shooting Instructor. The National Small-Bore Rifle Association (NSRA) are the Governing Body.

To become an RCO you must be over 21 years of age.
