Pony Club Hunter Trial

The Pony Club held the first of the Autumn cross country events on Sunday 4^th September at Oatlands Farm Santon (kind permission Mr & Mrs D Shacklock).  In spite of the torrential rain of the day before the going was good and the course rode really well with few mishaps throughout the day.  The Hunter Trial was followed by two ‘Green Day’ sessions novice riders and horses can school round the course, hopefully these entrants will have enjoyed their trial and will enter future cross country competitions.

The committee would like to thank Mr & Mrs David Shacklock for allowing us to use their land, Gill Shacklock for her continued hard work maintaining and  building the course, The Copy Shop for supplying back numbers,  Laura and Mary Callow for their excellent job carrying out the starting and timing duties for the day, Miles and Matthew for traffic management and all the many helpers and stewards who ‘volunteer’ to give up their days off to help us – without their generous support we would not be able to run.

The next Pony Club event will be the HSBC One Day Event to be held on Sunday 18^th September at Oatlands, Santon, which will be followed by another Green Day on the 24^th September and then culminating with the final Hunter Trial of the season on Sunday 9^th October. All these cross country events are open to non-members.   For further information on future events and also joining  the Pony Club in the Isle of Man please visit www.iomponyclub.com
