It hardly seems it was five years ago that the concept of Pony Dressage that encouraged the adults to compete made its dιbut... from the hard work of a dedicated few it has grown to what we witnessed this weekend as a fantastic day out. Not that it is restricted to adults either ...far from it, we had some wonderfully talented juniors of all ages out there, keeping us senior riders well in line.

As with any well run event, behind is the pure dedication of people that have the clear vision to see it happen, I know I am not alone in saying from all of us that competed "thank you" to Gary & Chris Hartigan, we are just so lucky to have their expertise and dedication behind this movement, and to all the wonderful people that put in over the day and of course the Sponsors! like always lets support them when we can.

Thankyou too Margie Kuiper [Australian Sports Pony Registry Inc] the bulk of photos within this report are from Margie, another amazing person for the movement of Pony Dressage. Without Margie's photos this would be slim pickings of pics, as the answer to 'we need rain' was well and truly delivered at 12noon, which of course was when I was meant to do my share of photo work after lunch.
