The biggest well done to all teams who qualified yesterday! 
Our little branch accepted the challenge to host the Pony Club Area 4 Blue Cross Horse and Pony Care Qualifier Competition yesterday at World Horse Welfare Penny Farm.
The venue that we call home (Penny Farm) also accepted the challenge.
We welcomed over 100 members from various branches throughout Area 4 and they all achieved great things.
As a result there will be 6 teams from Area 4 heading off to The Pony Club National Championships.
It was a busy and long day for our committee and volunteers who gave their everything to ensure the smooth running of the event.
Thank you to World Horse Welfare Penny Farm for allowing the use of your amazing facilities, for always supporting us in all we do and your wonderful cafe for working incredibly hard all day.
