☀️ Welfare Wednesday: Staying SunSmart at Pony Club 🐴

Did you know you can’t see or feel UV radiation? That’s why it can catch us out – even on cool or cloudy days. The SunSmart Global UV App makes it easy to check real-time UV levels at your location, with alerts and reminders so you know when it’s time to protect yourself.

At Pony Club, our SunSmart Policy is about making sure riders, coaches, parents, volunteers and visitors are safe while enjoying our sport. Too much UV exposure can cause sunburn, skin and eye damage, and increase the risk of skin cancer later in life – especially when damage occurs during childhood and adolescence.

That’s why we encourage everyone at Pony Club activities to:
▪️Wear sun-protective clothing – long-sleeved, collared Pony Club shirts, gloves and wide-brimmed hats where possible
▪️Apply SPF30+ (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen – and reapply throughout the day (clubs are encouraged to keep some available)
▪️Use shade – whether it’s natural shade or safe, portable structures set up at events
▪️Wear sunglasses that meet the Australian Standard to protect your eyes
▪️Plan the day with UV in mind – take breaks in shaded areas and promote sun protection throughout the day
▪️Lead by example – coaches, officials and club leaders should be role models for SunSmart behaviours
▪️Promote tools like the SunSmart widget, MyUV, and the free SunSmart Global UV app to help members protect themselves

☀️ Coming back to the SunSmart Global UV App – it gives you:
✅ Live UV levels wherever you are (or wherever you’re travelling)
✅ Daily sun protection reminders
✅ Clear guidance on when to slip, slop, slap, seek and slide (when UV reaches 3 or above)

It’s already been downloaded more than 1 million times worldwide, helping people from Australia to the UK, Spain and India build healthy sun protection habits.

Together, we can make sun safety part of Pony Club culture and keep our community safe.
