With 16mm of rain falling throughout the day, 29 determined riders competed across Grades 3 to 6 in both Pony Club and Open sections.

Despite the constant downpours leaving riders, spectators and volunteers drenched, spirits remained high, and many competitors achieved impressive scores.

The club extended its thanks to everyone who braved the wet weather to support the event, and said its members looked forward to welcoming riders back next year —hopefully under sunnier skies.

Bunbartha Pony Club is a small, friendly club that welcomes new members of all ages. Riders can learn to ride and care for ponies and horses under the guidance of qualified instructors.
