What an incredible start to the year for our Dayboro Pony Club riders! Our first muster of 2025 was a huge success, thanks to the hard work and dedication of so many people involved. Our amazing Chief Instructor, Holly, organised a jam-packed night that kept everyone on their toes – and there was something for everyone!
A Night to Remember
We were thrilled to have James and Dani Hess join us for the evening, offering their expertise to help our riders with jumping and pole work. Meanwhile, Ash was on hand to assist with sporting, and the mechanical cow made a special appearance, much to the delight of the riders and horses alike. The atmosphere was electric, and despite the heat, everyone showed up in full force, ready to learn and grow.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who made the night possible, whether by lending a hand or simply participating. Your efforts are what make our club so special!
