The Pony Club year has its own rhythm, and July is all about qualifying competitions for our more experienced riders.\u00a0 Every weekend sees a different sport holding an area qualifier – games, dressage, showjumping, eventing and tetrathlon riders all compete for places at the Pony Club Championships or at the Regional Finals for the slightly lower levels.<\/p>\n

Representing a Pony Club branch at an area competition is a huge deal – usually riders are in a team with other branch members so there is a lot of camaraderie and mutual support, for children and for their parents! They are helped by the branch committee member leading their sport often with a coach, and our DC Jane goes to every single competition.\u00a0 \u00a0There are delights and disappointments, but we are so proud of our riders who represented South Notts this year.<\/p>\n

It has been a vintage year for the branch, with riders qualifying for championships in games, dressage, showjumping, eventing and tetrathlon this year.<\/p>\n
