Medical Armbands
The Committee would be grateful if all Members could take a few minutes to think about what would happen if they were injured at one of the Clubs events. Horse riding is a dangerous sport and accidents do happen. The Committee strongly advise that you wear a medical arm band at all Club events, with your name, age, address, emergency contact number and any relevant medical details. Arm bands are available at all the local tack shops.
