Wowsers, what a fabulous horsey weekend. Huge congratulations to the organising committee at Wandin Park International Horse Trials for a fantastic competition.

Full sections of competitors, huge local business trade stand shopping and huge amount of spectators all through the weekend, all run smoothly and efficiently. Congratulations also to all competitors and support crews.

Pony Club on Sunday had perfect weather and a great turnout, the Club loves having so many ‘little riders’ joining in and helping, and great for the older riders to get back into the swing of working on efficiency certificates and planning their competition outings for the year.

The Club would like to remind everyone that many Pony Clubs now offer Adult sections, which means you can have tuition, even ride with your kids, or have a low-key venue to bring out young horses for their first outings. It is also very helpful for the younger generations to see dedication and practice being exercised all around them, and the extra support that they can extend.

Don’t forget to keep your eye on ‘Event Secretary’ for upcoming events and entries, and you can check out all the winners from Wandin Park at Nominate. Happy riding!
