Riding and Pony Club

Welcome to my first Pony Club Newsletter, I hope it’s up to standard

of the previous executives!!

It is only early into the year, but some of our members have been

quite busy. It was an awesome experience for some of the Junior

members volunteering to help Tom Curtain with his Outback

Experience shows in January during Country Music. Then, it was

great for Tom and his Team to come put on a special performance

at our grounds on the Sunday.

We had a great first rally day on Sunday, concentrating on sporting,

show jumping and finetuning flatwork ready for the Show Riding,

Show Jumping and Sporting weekend coming up. A massive

thankyou to all that assisted with running the day, and the

commitment of parents and kids to get an early start and beat the

heat.

At the end of the Rally Day we had plenty of presentations to do.

Trophies were presented to the members who had attended 6 or

more Blanch Trophy Days for 2018. Congratulations to kids and

parents for your commitment in travelling to these competitions and

doing Tamworth Pony Club proud. Members who had completed

and passed their Certificate work in 2018 also received their badges

(see photos). Along with the Encouragement awards for the day.

Congratulations to Bailey Miller and Ella Halcroft.

Recently Laura upgraded our Club website, and we plan to keep

posting regularly, along with Facebook - please keep on sending in

your children’s pics and sharing the posts with your friends and

families, this is a great way for other families considering Pony Club

to see how much fun we have.

A fundraising committee has been formed, please refer to the

notice further on in this newsletter. If you feel you can contribute in

anyway at all, don’t hesitate in approaching one of the committee

members.

Remember also to get your nominations in for our 1st Competition

on 16 & 17 February. Programs in this newsletter and enter via

We look forward to seeing you all at our 1st competition for the year

- showriding, showjumping & sporting weekend.

Happy Riding,

Charmaine
