It was great to see some of Mount Gambier & Districts Pony Club Pony Clubs own riders competing at the State Championship ODE on Saturday.
We had Amber on Avalon Reign Melodee in open grade 5, Cherie and Emil Emzar in PC grade 4 and MacKenzie on Jerricho in open grade 1 and Showtym shy in PC grade 1.

We also had Alicia Frankenburg and Harvey stepping up a grade coming 3rd place. Sarai Jenkins and Judy Jenkins riding under EA section of the competition.

Does anyone know when we last had a grade 1 rider at state champs?

Great effort from all our riders and volunteers behind the scenes.

Back in the day the zone held an annual zone camp at the Beachport Pony Club. It was the highlight of the pony club year, an opportunity to catch up with old friends from other clubs, make new ones, ride at the beach and hang out with the ponies.

Anyway, it's been a few years between camps but it's back on the calendar this year on December 14th & 15th. If it's something you're keen to do, make sure you fill in the nomination form and flick it back to the zone email address and make payment to the zone bank account.

If you have any questions you can ask Emma Swaffer who is the Zone Secretary or Kelzie Schipp who is the Zone President.

Wrist bands will be provided for this event and you can collect them from the secretaries office when you arrive.

If the dinner isn't enough to encourage you to book in then the Sinkhole Gin cocktails will seal the deal...Without doubt the best place to dine will be at the rider's party, so don't be the one to miss out on all the fun. 🍹🍸
