Preparing for Pony Club Camp
Your Pony Club Camp check list
It’s a favourite time of the year for most Pony Club members and Summer Camp is almost here.
We’ve put together a checklist to help make preparing for camp easier and hopefully help you remember everything you need to take! We’ve also added a few extras that may not be on your PCUK list!

Tri-Zone All Sports Boots are a perfect all-round boot making them very handy to take with you to camp! They can be hosed off and dried ready for the next day and can be used for all activities.
- Your pony’s passport! Vaccinations need to be up-to-date.
- Headcollar and lead rope (a spare could come in handy too)
