Congratulations to all those members of Big Walnut Creek Pony Club who competed at Quiz Rally on Saturday with Midsouth Region—everyone did fantastic!! BWCPC Junior Team got 1st place in their division and the other Team got 6th place (they were young—all novice competitors save one new member-in some stiff competition). They studied a lot and attended many horse management lessons to be ready-congratulations!!

Thank you to GreyStone Equestrian Center for hosting us!

Last night we had a mini farewell to one of our favorite pony clubbers, Lia, who is off to college next week. She was kind enough to provide an HM lesson on jogs and bandaging-never enough practice with bandaging! Good luck Lia!!

Heartland Region Pony Clubs Camp is underway at Hoosier Horse Park! Unfortunately, due to the bad air quality, we were unable to ride (safety first!), but we made the most of it and did our horse management lesson on conditioning, we helped set up part of the Leg Up cross country course, and enjoyed a pool party! Day 2 still has bad air quality, so this morning we learned about mounted games vs. gymkhana and first aid.

Congratulations to Big Walnut Creek Pony Club on a fantastic Drssage Rally last weekend! We had several new pony clubbers who stepped up to participate and we are grateful to the more senior pony clubbers who helped them along. We are so proud of you for the work you did on getting your horse, tack, tack stalls, and yourself all cleaned up for the event. Excellent work!

BWCPC joined the North Central Prairie Region for their quiz rally today and everyone had fun-especially in the bounce houses they provided to work off some steam after a day of barn stalls, mega room, stations, and written test. Tomorrow is the classroom phase! Best of luck Big Walnut Creek Pony Clubbers! .ponyclub
