Games Team State Qualifier

Well done to our Games team consisting of Charlotte Wilson, Anna Krainz, Nikki Krainz, Beth Gleeson, Alec Ritchie, Molly Lines and Verity Hore who competed at Howlong on the weekend for a chance to Qualify for State Level competition. Unfortunately the team missed out on qualifying this time round coming fifth, but a fantastic time was had by all who attended.
We enjoyed a fabulous bonfire and camp oven meal on the Saturday night hosted by the Howlong Pony Club and the kids really loved competing for their club in a team event. It was a really great effort and this team will definitely be one to watch in the future!

A huge thanks to Marion Sargeant our team coach who put in heaps of time and had the kids very well prepared for the event.

Musical Ride State Qualifier

A huge congratulations to the Musical Ride Team consisting of Tess Storey, Molly Hore, Lauren Hutchinson and Sally Kirley who after months of hard work came a fantastic FIRST PLACE at Howlong on the weekend.

They rode a musical dressage test to the tune of “Oh Mickey” and were dressed as Cheerleaders. Their horses performed the test beautifully in time to the music and in sync with each other.

This means the team get to compete in this event at State Level in June at Bacchus Marsh.

Many thanks to their very capable coach, Nikki Grey and to Michelle Kirley who made the gorgeous costumes for the girls.

GOOD LUCK AT STATE!
