Garda Vetting
At least one parent of each Muskerry Pony Club Member must be Garda vetted. The Irish Pony Club uses E-Vetting (since Jan 2018) meaning that paper-based Garda Vetting forms will no longer be accepted. This process is now driven by Horse Sport Ireland - the Governance Body for Equestrian Activity in Ireland.
The process is outlined in six steps by Horse Sport Ireland and is available at this link:
