 This fantastic competition was held at Ebborways Farm, Priddy by kind permission of Mr and Mrs Dyke Garfield.  The weather for the first time in years was brilliant hot dry and sunny. Twelve senior, ten junior and six novice teams took part many camped for the weekend which made it great fun as well. A real family outing the atmosphere was relaxed and fun all having a great time.  The children learnt a lot and enjoyed their experiences on their ponies and for some novice children it was their very first competition. It would be lovely to see more children taking part as there are too few competitions for all to get the experience. Let us see what 2012 brings.

BATH AND WEST COMPETITION

 

4TH JUNE 2011

 

 

Our Pony Club were invited again to take part in the competition at the Bath and West show ground. Lots of teams took part the seniors rode all four days but we rode on the Saturday and had another fun day. The weather was dry windy and cold but this did not dampen our spirits and we kept our chins up and rode as best we could we were not last and did have a good time.  We are still a very young team so improving all the time.

 

PLEASE READ THIS IS A NOTE WE RECEIVED FROM A YOUNG MEMBER OF OUR PONY CLUB WHO COMPETED THIS YEAR ! READ THIS AND COME AND GIVE IT A GO !!!

 

AREA MOUNTED GAMES 2011 

21st May 2011 

I went to Poole in Dorset, with my brother and two other team mates to take part in the Pony Club Area mounted games competition.  These are teams coming from Somerset, Dorset, and Wiltshire.

This is for children aged 11years and under, so we were the youngest team having 3 eight year old riders and one 10 year old.

The competition takes a lot of concentration and skill completing challenges on our ponies and doing changes at speed.

The races we did were bending, bottle, sock and bucket, mug race, flag and stepping stones race.

Our team came first in the tack and turnout, we received blue triple rosettes.  We came seventh place in the Gymkhana games and had orange and green rosettes that matched out pony’s brow bands and ‘Our Team’ colours.

We had a really fun day and all rode well as a team, and the weather was nice and sunny.
