Congratulations to Indi Talay and Sacha Laidlaw who competed at the Warrnambool Pony Club Combined Training Day. Indi Talay placed first riding two horses on the day in level 4, which was a fabulous achievement. It is wonderful to see so many of our riders out competing each weekend with their horses.

You must also notify the Director of Horsemanship immediately if your horse has been in or originated from Queensland or Northern New South Wales. Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions.
