did tell one of the new members that they are called one day events for a good reason &#8211;\u00a0 the riders have to master dressage, showjumping and riding cross country over fixed fences and through water in one day.<\/p>\n<p>Pony club classes start at 30cm for jumping with a walk and trot dressage test, children can be on a lead rein, assisted or ride on their own.\u00a0 Pony Club parents don&#8217;t need a gym membership as there is plenty of running and jumping for the leaders as well as the ponies.<\/p>\n<p>Many, many professional eventers started their riding careers in Pony Club, maybe we will see some of these riders at Badminton in a few years&#8217; time?<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n
