Combined Training Day at Bunbartha Pony Club

The Kaarimba Racecourse was the scene of a very successful combined training day on Sunday October 29.

The racecourse was severely impacted by the October 22 floods, and Bunbartha Pony club members spent many hours preparing the grounds and repairing and restoring their equipment for the event during the preceding few weeks. They were rewarded with a good turnout of pony club and open riders from all of the surrounding districts, all keen to compete in the grade 3 to 6 events on offer.

Combined training involves each rider completing a dressage test, followed by a showjumping round. The scores from each discipline are added together to decide the winners. Prizes were sponsored by Horseland and Hunters, Shepparton, and Night Owl Creations. BPC is now preparing to host a Northern Zone dressage and show jumping Qualifier event on November 19. We are always keen for new riders to join our club, find us on facebook.
