The Annual Pony Club NSW State Camp is fast approaching as riders have been selected and are currently preparing for the Camp being held from the 3^rd-8^th January at The Sydney International Equestrian Centre. 

The NSW Pony Club Executive Committee has selected a great range of high performing pony club riders from all across the state to attend the 2016 Pony Club State Camp. A full list of selected riders can be found on the Pony Club NSW website.

These chosen young riders aged 13-24 and their horses will spend the week using the facilities of the Sydney International Equestrian Centre to learn and improve their skills in Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing, Mounted Games and Advanced Horsemanship. The State Camp provides professional training and education for the young pony club members, with some of the country’s highest qualified equestrian instructors coaching in their chosen discipline.

This year the State Camp will host Peter Shaw as the Dressage coach, Jamie Coman as the Show Jumping coach, Sam Lyle as the Eventing coach, Jane Frankum and Sarah Venamore as the Advanced Horsemanship coaches and Anthony Newman and Phil Logue as the Mounted Games coaches.

The Riders will have to demonstrate excellent care for their horse each day, being responsible for cleaning out their stable, preparing feed, maintaining clean gear and presenting themselves well for coaching sessions. The riders will also get to know each other by taking part in the annual State Camp Volleyball Tournament and other fun social activities.

Selected riders can look forward to a great week of professional instruction and a chance to socialise with Pony Club members from around NSW.

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