Do I need special clothing in Pony Club?

Yes. 

It is a membership requirement that Pony Club members wear a riding helmet meeting the ASTM/SEI standard when attending any mounted function.  A riding helmet can be purchased at any tack store.   Additionally, heeled boots that cover the ankle, and a medical armband with updated medical card are also required at all times when working around horses.  These three items are hard and fast rules; no IGPC member will be permitted to mount their horse at any pony club activity without these three items.  No exceptions.

You will be given one medical armband and one insert when you join IGPC.   If lost, additional armbands can be purchased at the USPC Bookstore. 

Much of the Pony Club attire requirements exist for reasons of practicality, tradition, and/or professionalism.    At a bare minimum, be prepared to have:  
  A sleeved shirt with a collar (that can be tucked in)
 Riding pants
  A belt if the riding pants have belt loops.    

IGPC will be selling logo items, such as polo shits, saddle pads, tee shirts, etc.   We ask each IGPC member to purchase a club polo shirt and club saddle pad.  

The attire needed to meet the varied US Pony Club activities can run from informal to formal;  the details of which are beyond this FAQ, and will be taught as a member advances through the certification levels.
