Eight connected moments

Rally Weave

Rally Weave

Eight moments that make room for the human check-in.

The weave is not a timetable or a club operating procedure. It is an editorial rhythm to help caregivers, riders and adults arrive calmly and leave with a clear handoff.

Adults prepare for a fictional pony activity with a pony safely in the background.

Adult plan

Agree who is present, who has responsibility and what a calm start looks like.

Arrival pause

Notice the surrounding space before activity begins.

Pony observation

Look at the whole pony rather than searching for one answer.

Equipment questions

Ask a competent person about condition, fit and current requirements.

Coach briefing

Use local, current direction from the people responsible on the day.

Session rhythm

Keep space, pace and communication appropriate to the setting.

Close-out

Gather equipment and share relevant observations with the responsible adult.

Care handoff

Decide who will continue ordinary care after the session.

A woven order

Preparation can be calm without being rigid.

The fieldbook does not score a household or tell a person they are cleared to ride. It keeps the emphasis on observation, communication and competent judgement.
