Types of Rallies

Quiz

Team members are unmounted and are tested on their equine knowledge in five separate phases. Topics range from horse care to horse sports to general equine knowledge and can offer a hands-on component.

Standard

Follows all rules outlined in the current discipline rulebooks and Horse Management Handbook including utilizing a Chief Horse management judge from the national CHMJ list, as well as any other specified licensed officials.

Modified

Does not specifically follow the discipline rulebooks and generally occurs because of limited resources. This could potentially include: not utilizing a CHMJ from the current approved CHMJ list or not utilizing specified licensed officials.

Horseless

Gives you a chance to experience a Pony Club rally without the pressure of preparing a horse. It is conducted like a regular competition where you set up a tack room and stalls, and are judged on your Horse Management skills.
