Policy breaches and disciplinary action
It is a requirement that all PCA members, supporters, coaches and of昀椀cials comply with the mandatory clauses of this policy. A Pony Club official can immediately withdraw a horse and rider combination from Pony Club activities, eliminate them from a competition, or refer the matter for investigation, if there is a breach of the mandatory clauses of this policy.
The PCA Conduct and Disciplinary Policy applies to any Alleged Breach (as defined in the Conduct and Disciplinary Policy) of the mandatory clauses of the PCA Horse Welfare Policy. Disciplinary penalties may be imposed for breaches of this policy.
Cases of perceived cruelty must be reported to the appropriate agency in each state. These are listed in Appendix A.
