This year, the branch was represented by one team: Jessie, Isabelle and Sylvia.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"376\" data-end=\"661\">Fresh from their disappointment at the Quiz Finals, the girls were determined to secure a placing this time. The Blue Cross Horse and Pony Care Competition is similar to Quiz but with a practical twist, testing competitors\u2019 knowledge and skills through hands-on tasks with real ponies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"906\">The team had a fantastic day and their hard work paid off, finishing in an impressive third place. This result also earned them qualification for the Pony Club Championships in August \u2014 a fantastic achievement.
