The 2010 Victorian Pony Challenge got underway this weekend with perfect weather one day and the complete opposite the next, typical Melbourne weather!

 

But it takes more than a few puddles to hold back some of the up and coming stars of the pony dressage scene. While pony dressage is still very much in its growing stage, the improvement in all aspects of training and riding 'dressage' has keenly been taken up by the riders and owners.

 

A total of 80 riders attended this super event, competing in young stock classes thru to official, associate tests and with the legendary pony 6 bar thrown in on the Saturday night for some high flying excitement.
