Pony club champions crowned

WONTHAGGI Pony Club hosted the Pony Club Association of Victoria (PCAV) state dressage and show jumping championships recently.
Nearly 200 riders converged on Wonthaggi Pony Club grounds for the event, coming from all over Victoria to compete in either dressage or show jumping.
Several Wonthaggi Pony Club members also competed on the weekend.
There are 10 pony club zones in Victoria. Each year, a club from within each zone hosts the event. This year it was the West Gippsland Zone’s turn, and Wonthaggi didn’t disappoint.
PCAV vice president Darrelyn Boucher said the facility was top class and Wonthaggi Pony Club worked really hard to bring its grounds up to a state level.
“The organising committee worked exceptionally hard as a solid team, which resulted in the event being very successful,” she said.
“We have had some fabulous feedback to say it was a very well run, professional event.”
Ms Boucher said the heat didn’t affect numbers on either day.
“This is a state level competition and riders have been preparing for this event over a 12 month period,” she said.
