It is easy to spot a seasoned Pony Club Mother. She is cool and collected; as serene as a swan as she delivers her darling offspring to a "Rally".
But though she appears calm, she will be paddling frantically beneath the surface. For the Pony Club Mother won't have had time to let some much-needed caffeine course through her veins, let alone eat breakfast. Instead, she will have been coercing small children into their clothes, dragging the pony in from the field, cleaning the tack, packing up the colossal amount of kit that is needed for man and beast, preparing a picnic, loading said pony into its form of transport… and all before 8am.
At the top of the Pony Club Mother's packing list is sun cream - after all, a sunburnt child is far worse than an ungroomed pony. Fortunately, Childs Farm have brought out a new range of roll-on SPF. It's so easy to use that children can apply it themselves; plus it's unfragranced, making it ideal for delicate skin.
Once the children are happily trotting it's time to pay yourself a little bit of attention. Zelens is one of the few sun creams that I enjoy using: light and fluffy, it sinks in instantly and doesn't leave you feeling like an oil slick.
If you need to even out your complexion in a hurry, Chanel's Les Beiges Sheer Glow Healthy Tinted Moisturiser will come to the rescue. Not only does it have an SPF30, but a light veil leaves you looking fresh-faced, with minimal effort.
And when it comes to revealing sun-starved legs, Vita Liberata's Dry Oil Self Tan will help. Not only does it give a lovely hint of colour, but it protects with an SPF50. How's that for guilt-free tanning?
