Riders selected to attend the 2016 Pony Club NSW State Camp have wrapped up their week of instruction from the Country’s top coaches after a rainy week at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre on the 3rd-8th January. 

The final day of riding sessions on Thursday 7th January finally brought some sun, after torrential rain hit the Sydney region earlier in the week. Riders were chosen to receive coaching in the disciplines of Showjumping, Eventing, Dressage, Mounted Games & Advanced Horsemanship.

While the rain did limit the cross country facilities available to Camp riders, coaches took the opportunity to use the fantastic indoor arena at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre to focus primarily on Dressage, Showjumping and Mounted Games techniques.

Young Dressage rider Angela Begg was full of praise towards the 2016 Camp; “The instruction that I received from our dressage coach, Peter Shaw, both on and off the horses was incredible. I have come away with a great understanding of what I need to work on with my horse and also of what correct, classical dressage looks like”.

Many of the 2016 State Camp officials explained that this year’s group of riders showed maturity and determination well beyond their years, and deserve to be commended on their great attitude throughout the Camp.

The Pony Club Association of NSW would like to thank the 2016 State Camp coaches; Peter Shaw, Sam Lyle, Jamie Coman, Jane Frankum, Sarah Venamore, Anthony Newham and Phil Logue for their efforts as wonderful coaches for our young pony club riders. Thank you also to the riders, officials and staff who travelled from around the state for yet another fantastic Pony Club NSW State Camp.

The Pony Club NSW State Camp is supported by Mitavite official feed partner, Club Colours Direct and International Animal Health.
