22.01.2022 November rally/wind up trail ride today...it was a great way to finish the year! Hamburgers and icecream for lunch, followed by a wander out amoungst the plantation. We all had a relaxed ride and our trusty steads behaved nicely ...it was the best way to unwind and finish what has been a very different year for pony club! Thanks Jodie for hosting the bbq and ride today, and thanks to all the members, and mums, that came along to enjoy the day. Sarah joined us for lunch bef...ore we rode...thanks for all your efforts this year as club coach. I think we'll all be glad to see the end of 2020 and look forward to new beginnings in 2021 We hope to see old and new faces at pony club next year when we start up again in February.

14.01.2022 Meet the 3rd of our 3 NEW Values Awards: the PCA Sustainability Champion Award. Pony Club Australia is the longest running equestrian organisation in Australia.... Sustainability Champions undertake projects which ensure the long-term environmental and/or social sustainability of Pony Club. The Sustainability Champion award recognises a Pony Club Australia member who has advanced the sustainability of Pony Club in particular and equestrian activities more generally. The recipient's impact and achievements will be demonstrated in a specific project, activity or innovation in the areas of environmental or social sustainability. The PCA Sustainability Champion award has been introduced to recognise extraordinary efforts above and beyond what would ordinarily be expected of a Pony Club Australia member. Examples of environmental sustainability activities and projects include: Protecting water courses on Pony Club grounds and courses, implementing waste recycling strategies or policies which reduce the amount and type of waste produced through horse-related activities, partnering with community gardens to compost manure, hosting a horse property permaculture workshop or farm walk, writing a sustainability plan, writing a bushfire action plan, writing a natural disaster plan, introducing a new practice to reducing energy consumption at the club grounds, installing waste collection information and resources on popular shared-use trails, developing capacity for faecal egg counting and other practices which reduce the chemical burden on soils, educating trail riders about sustainable use of trails. Examples of social sustainability activities and projects include: Projects which develop positive relationships and strengthen ties with non-equestrians in the local community, taking horses to retirement homes or hospices where appropriate, raising awareness of the benefits of having horses in the local community, creating events which support local businesses and not-for-profits. To nominate a PCA member for the Sustainability Champion Award, please complete the form at: https://form.jotform.com//pony-club-values-awards-nominati #ponyclubspirit #sustainability #SLO #environment #social #values #morethanriding #goodcitizen #changemaker

05.01.2022 For Crafty Tuesday this week we have a great Christmas present suggestion that will get visitors talking - a flower pot horse display for the front garden or ou...tside your shed. You will need some good glue or be able to screw the pots together; spray paint to colour your horse to match yours or that of your dream horse, and you can even do baling twine mane and tail and use up some of that too. There are aplenty of directions if you google 'Flower Pot Horses' or use your own imagination. Does your family already have lots of old pots laying around? #craftytuesday #horsesinthegarden #horsedisplay
