Parents and encouraged to volunteer and participate with the club but are not required.
A parent/guardian is required to be present if their child is under 18 and competing in USPC competitions as a mounted competitor. (about 1 to 5 times a year depending on the child's interests and the family's resources) A parent/guardian is not required at rallies where their child is serving as the team stable manager, nor at the unmounted Quiz or Horseless rallies.
Although not required, we strongly recommend a parent/guardian be present at all mounted activities, such as monthly mounted meetings, and preparatory mounted clinics for ratings and rallies. (8 to 12 times per year) Ask yourself "Who will attend to my child if there is an accident" If you have no satisfactory answer, then you should stay.
It is not required that a parent/guardian be present at unmounted meetings or study groups, but parents are always welcome to stay to observe, contribute, and learn.
