We have a Leave No Trace Policy for everyone attending pony club events. Everyone is responsible for
taking away their rubbish and their horses dung. Recently our DC spent over an hour picking up coffee cups and collecting dung after an event which can not happen again. Please be responsible and Leave No Trace 🙂
