All sporting activities carry an associated  risk of injury. Concussion, following a head injury is one particular risk that if not identified and assessed may have long lasting and irreversible consequences for the injured party.

The *Irish Pony Club* has produced documentation and guidelines for all its members and parents/guardians on concussion. The information contained within the documents is the best advice and best practice available at the
present time. There are 3 documents in total.

   - Signs and Symptoms of Concussion
   - Concussion Action Plan
   - Concussion rules for all Disciplines.
