Gear Exemption

There is a formal application which goes to the Pony Club State Office for those seeking specific gear approval and is based on the requirements of the rider and/or the horse.

A rider can request permission to use a prohibited piece of gear for a specific horse, in special circumstance. You can find the form at Online Gear Exemption Form

Q: Can you use the gear while you wait for approval from your State?

A: No. Riders cannot use the gear in question at any Pony Club event (rally, muster, training or competition) until they receive permission in writing from their State Office, which they will need to present to gear checkers at all gear checks.
