NegligenceJust because an organisation is incorporated does not mean that its officers are absolved fromclaims in negligence. If the officer is negligent, he or she can be sued even if PONY CLUB, theaffiliated club/zone or association can also be sued or if PONY CLUB, the affiliated club/zone orassociation is insured. The rules of PONY CLUB, the affiliated club/zone or association mayprovide for the officer to be indemnified in certain circumstances but this does not mean that anegligence claim cannot be made.Insurance may not cover these potential liabilities adequately or at all. The best “insurance” is:‐ The implementation of comprehensive risk management practices applicable to eachparticular situation; and‐ Only to accept the office of director or committee member if you fully understand theduties of that office and are prepared to discharge them.Administration HandbookRules for ShowjumpingRules for DressageRules for Sporting and CampdraftRules for Jumping EquitationRules for EventingRules for PolocrosseMounted Games Rule BookUniform and Gear Check ManualScoring HandbookPony Club Manual No. 1.Pony Club Manual No. 2.ANNEXURE CANNEXURE DRisk Warning under 18 years of ageRisk Warning over 18 years of age20
