In the Canadian Pony Club, the competition portion of our Rallies consists of a 3 phase event (Dressage, Endurance, and Stadium Jumping) and the competitors are also scored on their Stable Management which involves many aspects of the care of their horses. Rallies are primarily intended for members with a "C" or higher rating, however some Regions also hold modified rallies for "D" riders.

The levels of competition offered at National Championship Rallies are Preliminary (Jumps 3'7" maximum) and Training (Jumps 3'3" maximum). Regional rallies often offer pre-training level (3'0" maximum) and sometimes Starter level (2'9" maximum). Detailed specifications of each of these levels will be inserted here in the future.

Veterinary inspections are performed at several different times during the competition to be sure that all horses are fit and safe to continue.

Rallies are run on a team basis, usually with individual awards being presented as well. Team makeup varies depending on which Rally one attends, however they are usually made up of 2 or 3 riders and their horses with 1 or 2 unmounted team members who may be called Captains, Stable Managers, or Helpers.

Competition, however, is only a part of a Rally. Most Rallies also include some planned and some unplanned entertainment and plenty of opportunity for members from different Branches or Regions to get together and renew old friendships or make new ones.
