Come and be part of a fun day out in beautiful Ambury Farm in Mangere Bridge. Mangere Pony Club is holding a One Day Event, open to all riders across the motu. Riders compete in Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country across one day. We will need nearly fifty volunteers and there are only thirty of us, so we are asking our community for some help please! If you love to support young people or you love horses, we would love to hear from you.
Warm up area marshalls
Ensure clear entry and exit to warm-up area
• Manage the number of riders in the area at any one time
• Ensure the jumps have been changed to the correct height as classes change in warm up area
• 45cm dressage marshal to open & close gate to paddock
The volunteer will need to be fit enough to stand for several hours. Instruction will be given, the main skill needed is organisation of young people to ensure the correct rider enters the arena when it is their turn, and to ensure safety in the warm up area by managing numbers of riders.
Jump Judges
Compulsory Training early in the morning - time to be confirmed
Attend briefing from TD at Saturday 12pm or early Sunday briefing (tbc)
• Record refusals at allocated jump
It is possible to be seated in your car driven next to the jump, which makes this a great job for older people or people with physical disabilities. It can also easily be performed by teenagers and sign off for Duke of Edinburgh service is offered. The jumps attended will change with each of the four competition classes.
