Congratulations to Finley & Charlie Hiscock and Zoe Addinsall for being selected for the Pony Club Victoria State Tetrathlon Team 2021. These superstars will be competing at the Australian National Championships in September and October 2021. I am sure these riders will be training intensively in the lead up to this event and we wish them every success.
