The Year has once again flown by and the 2016 AGM is upon us. In the close of my report last year
I stated that our quota of hosting National and International Competitions had been fulfilled and it
was time to look inwards and strive for excellence. This year has been a year of change and
improvement within the Office and one of great achievement in organisation and performance
within Pony Club as a whole.
2015 started with a big weekend in early February, a record attendance at the 2015 AGM and Garden
Party out on the Presidents Lawn on a most beautiful evening. The weekend hosted the annual State
Coaching Clinic and an Examiners update, run by the State Coaching Panel and a Cross Country
Course Design School and Technical Delegates Seminar run by the Eventing Committee. This was a
busy weekend but it met with approval from those who need to travel, being able to cover a good
deal in one trip to Perth.
When the Riding for the Disabled Association found need to relocate their offices back to our shared
building we faced a real dilemma of overcrowding, the dreams of moving to larger more professional
Offices became reality. With the help of the Department of Sport and Recreation and Equestrian WA
we now have the premium office space downstairs in the main building at the Western Australian
State Equestrian Centre.
Midyear saw the resignation of our then Executive Officer, Emma Finney. The opportunity to upgrade
the post to Executive Officer and Business Manager, EOBM, led to Lee-Anne Smith joining the Team
in the Office. Lee-Anne has embraced our new financial system, Strategic Plan, Workforce
Development Plan and has worked to improve all of these projects along with a document
management system and many more; most exciting is the new Associate leadership group that has
been funded by DSR. With much achieved in such little time since late August, 2016 looks full of
promise for Pony Club WA.
Pony Club Australia our national body has for some time been working on a new National logo and
website /database and the new Pony Club WA Logo was introduced in time for launch at the State
Team uniform presentation night prior to their departure to the extremely successful trip to South
Australia for the PCA National Championships. The ability and behavior of our riders and coaches
and all who supported our teams in South Australia this year was a credit to all concerned.
Congratulations to you all and many thanks to the generous sponsors who assisted this venture.

were held at the State Equestrian Centre, and were all a great success, as were the Tetrathlon
hosted by Log Fence Pony Club, the Eventing held at Gidgegannup Horse and Pony Club and
the Active Riding Championships held at Avon Valley Showjumping and Pony Club. These
â€˜Stateâ€™ run events are the work of the Pony Club discipline committees with assistance from
the Office, all committee members are volunteers without whom these Events cannot happen.
Thank you to everyone who volunteers to sit on the discipline committees and give countless
hours of their time to make these events possible.
The State Coaching Panel has continued to educate and accredit coaches and examiners,
oversee the standards of Pony Club efficiency certificates, and seen that coaches have travelled
all over the State to assist with training thanks to the Healthway Go for 2 & 5 funded Coaching
the Coaches scheme. The Gear Checking Advisory Panel are continuing to update our
standards of gear for horse and rider, aiming to remain up to date, modern and most
importantly safe. This is an arduous job but one that must be done in order to keep Pony Club
relevant in 2016.
The newly reformed Riders Consultancy Panel and the Marketing Working Group made up of
associate riders will be fully operational in 2016 and will assist our decision making into the
future. Thanks go to those who have supported these dedicated young people through Pony
Club and enabled them to have a positive experience and desire to give back to the Association.
I would like to acknowledge the Clubs all throughout the State and all the hardworking people
who run the rallies monthly. Rallies are the backbone of Pony Club, where we educate our
members on the correct and proper care and management of their animals. Club officials
ensure the correct and smooth running of these clubs and the position is pivotal to the
success of a club. Many Clubs run a few competitions during the year, some bigger than
others but each one has a special meaning to those involved, each no less important than
another and all involving many volunteer hours. The achievement of a successful rally, camp,
competition or social event is often the sense of satisfaction of a job well done.
The Pony Club Office is fortunate to have the most dedicated team, who once again have
worked tirelessly to ensure all our many general and special projects for 2015 have been
successful. The success of organisation has much to do with the energy and enthusiasm of
our Office Staff and they are much appreciated.
Finally, I would like to thank the members of the Board, who have worked so hard again this
year. While there is still work to be done, we all proud of the achievements this year and the
direction Pony Club Western Australia is heading. In 2016 we look forward to the launch of
the new website and database from Pony Club Australia and the many advantages it will give
our members in the future.

Firstly, it was my absolute pleasure to accept the role as your
Executive Officer midway through this reporting year. I have
thoroughly enjoyed working with such a dedicated team of staff,
volunteers and directors all of whom take enormous pride in their
governance and operational responsibilities.
While a large part of my role has been desk bound I am committed
to ensuring PCAWA remains relevant to all members and therefore
place a priority on engaging with the Pony club community.
Getting out of the office has provided me with both insight and
opportunity to experience the real values of Pony Club. Highlights
have included experiencing Waginâ€™s Gymkhanarama, attending
Annual General Meetings with the South West Zone in Bridgetown,
South East Zone in Merredin, Metropolitan Zone at Orange Grove,
Club AGMâ€™s including Wallangarra and Wooroloo and slowly getting
to know our sporting committees and riders at events and
presentation evenings.
Within the office led by the Board of Directors the association has
undergone a strategic review of all activities including internal roles
and responsibilities and the overarching role of the association.
Attached is the three year strategic plan for the association that
includes four key themes, objectives and importantly how these will
be measured.
In order to achieve these objectives a 12 month operational plan and
budget has been adopted. Individual staff performance agreements
and committee terms of reference will create a line of sight that
ensures everyone across the association can see how their efforts
contribute to one overall strategic direction.
These plans provided a baseline to measure executive, staff and
volunteer performance that hold us all accountable. I take this
opportunity to acknowledge Pony Club WAâ€™s rich 50 year history
and solid foundations which have only been made possible by the
first class efforts of volunteers, staff, riders and supporting partners.
I also thank our 2015 staff and sponsors and welcome new
sponsorship and staff joining the association in 2016.
Thank you to everyone that has contributed.

MISSION
To organize and run a fun filled weekend for the younger riders in Pony Club that
might not have experienced competition or competition atmosphere at the State
Equestrian Centre. This competition is an opportunity for riders to experience a
variety of events on the one weekend at the one venue.
LEADERSHIP
Each PCAWA subcommittee was responsible for submitting and organizing their
disciplines section of the Festival. This was coordinated by the PCAWA Event
Coordinator and a (very small) group of representative from each sub-committee.
This was beneficial as you had one go to person for the event to coordinate the
program, volunteers and budget.
HIGHLIGHTS
The highlight was the feedback we got from first time riders that they enjoyed
themselves and some doing their personal bests. Also the feedback of riders
trying a different discipline for the first time and loving it and parents being very
thankful for the guidance they received throughout the weekend.
PARTICIPATION AND DEVELOPMENT
160 riders attended the Festival this year which was up from 120 at the previous
event in 2013 (as this is a bi-annual event). Those who attended gave positive
feedback on the program and the running of the two day event. We helped add
to the confidence that the young riders are developing through their participation
in rallies and at events like these that cater more for the younger, less experienced
riders. We hope this event then gave those riders confidence to build on their
competition experience and now enter further events.
REWARD & RECOGNITION
Rosettes were awarded to sixth place after each class. Each discipline had their
own distinctive colour of rosettes. The placings were put up on a community board
and results were placed on the website. There were also signs/banners for sponsors
of each event and post event reports and pictures placed in the PCAWA News
Blast and sent to our major sponsor Healthway.
VISION FOR 2016
A s this is a bi-annual event, we would hope that a date is set in mid-2016 for the
venue and that the clubs advertise the event to their members. The event was well
advertised, but I think the clubs need to encourage their young riders to participate.
Also that a review of the program is done, to maximize the popular events and
perhaps bring in new ones.

Active Riding had a great year with its hard working and enthusiastic committee.
There were a number of prelims held north and south. Although numbers were down on
previous years, which hopefully is just a blip. Various reasons have been given possibly the
increase of Eventing riders and lower rider numbers overall.
One of the most disturbing things is, that riders are not doing Active Riding at Rallies. Cross
Country seems to be used instead of Active Riding. This was evident when some of our
committee members ran the Novelties at the Festival. When they asked many riders presenting
for the Novelties if they had practiced them at rallies, in many cases the answer was â€œno we
donâ€™t do this at rallies.â€
The Committee has been fortunate to have a team of members each with their own jobs that
they enjoy doing which makes it really easy to plan and run competitions. I would like to thank
all on the committee for making it so easy to Chair. They are a great team. Thanks again.
championships
The Active Riding Championships were held at Serpentine Horse and Pony Club and were
enjoyed by the vast majority that attended. The Serpentine members and committee must be
thanked for their Can Do attitude and went out of their way to ensure everything was spot on.
It is a great location and venue. The Committee hopes Serpentine would like to hold the
Championships again in 2016. Thanks again to Serpentine for hosting it this year. As a committee
we feel that our Championships are better held in this type of format.
nationals
Thanks to Coach Sean Corbin and Managerâ€™s Tash Ellery~ Seniors
Scott McNamee and Angela Herzer ~Juniors for the fantastic job well done.
The Seniors rode extremely well, winning all 3 comps, which was good as there were 5 states in
it.
The Juniors came third, rode well but needed a bit of luck to go their way.

But the first time WA has
traveled. It is great to ride your own horse at these events but I think Pony Club should be more
flexible in how riders compete
It sounds good in theory bringing your own horse. Australia is a huge country. In 2017
Queensland would be 5 days traveling one way and if you travel that far you should be rewarded
for your efforts by good grounds, good camping and a well-run event. Murray Bridge was
none of these. The Games Team did the journey on the least time possible and that was 10 days
and around $6000.00, so you do need mad parents. 90% of the Games horses traveled well,
luckily the one that didnâ€™t come good just in time.
It would be good if Pony Club Australia would organise a Sub Committee to run Nationals
Games with representation from each state. As the games riders are there for the whole time it
might be good to maybe do some Novelties as well.
A roster could be made for holding Junior and Senior comps in the alternating years. I feel it is
good to keep these events going as it keeps games going, encourages more participation and
gets riders to interact between States, which I think PC is all about?
the royal show
Most of the crew was in South Australia, luckily Dan
Foster with the help of Truci Hall, Ben Grenall and
Juanita Brewer were able to run a pairs Competition,
which sounded like it was a great success. There
were many positive reports received back from this
event.
WA has been given the Junior Nationals Competition
in 2016 which we are hoping to run at the Perth
Royal Show in a similar format to that run in 2014.

Our committee this year consisted of 6 people.
Four of these people are either at Pony Club still or
have just finished Pony Club so itâ€™s a very young
enthusiastic committee. It was our aim this year to
have a successful competition in spite of our event
being held the same day as major event in WA.
leadership
This was achieved through forward planning and
hard work. We made sure our judges were in place
early and that the sponsors were all locked down.
Jacqui as always inspired us and motivated us to
think outside the box and come up with new ideas.
This involved using Nominate for our scoring
system which meant live scoring throughout the
weekend which work fantastically. Thanks to Brooke
Williams for your help with the scoring over the
weekend.
highlights
From when the musical ride starts on a Saturday
afternoon thatâ€™s why you do this competition. I
think the most memorable moment for me was the
First Aid Company had sponsored with a trophy
and watching all the kids go up for prizes. The guys
doing the first aid were almost as excited as the
children.
Another highlight for myself was Lloyd from
Nominate commenting on this event and how there
is nothing like it over east. He couldnâ€™t believe all
the costumes and the classes we ran.

This year it was very evident that the Nationals were
just around the corner. We have numerous of riders
doing high level tests and getting those higher
scores. We managed to have more sponsors than
ever and the same number of tests as last year
which was a win for us.
In 2016 we are looking developing this competition
for the members by making some changes to the
competition which will make it sustainable in the
future. Stay tuned.

For us a win is when we have positive comments
about the event. These were flowing in from
Volunteers, Sponsors, Parents, Riders and Judges
all weekend. This is what we do it for. The clubs all
do there helper duties and the competition ran very
smoothly.
I chose to recognise Tamara Parry from Darlington
Pony Club. She came on the committee last year as
I knew she had the knowledge just never ran a
competition this big. In the last year she has grown
so much. This award was given to her at the PCAWA
Awards Night.

The 2015 committee has brought with it valuable
knowledge and skills which has culminated in a
successful year for the discipline.
Rule changes have been aimed at making the sport
safer and processes have been developed that
enable officials to deal with breaches of rules and
codes of conduct. Breaches have been followed up
by the committee with feedback given to riders,
parent and club chief coaches where applicable.

2014 was a particularly challenging year for the

2015 has been much more positive with riders,
clubs, officials and committee working together to

vision for 2016
2016 will see the introduction of accredited Course Designer for cross country â€“ leading to
increased safety for riders. This will include holding at least 1 metropolitan and 1 regional
Course Designers seminar.
We are aiming to see at least 2 new Trainee TDâ€™s accredited as well as attracting at least 2
new trainees to the program.
We are hoping to be able to allocate TDâ€™s to all requested club fixtures.
A regional venue for the State Championships is still to be found, we are hoping that a club

Once again we held our annual show jumping day on the Swan Fields at the SEC this not only
enabled riders to compete individually but also enter for the Zone run off for their clubs.
This event always draws a lot of riders and we hope to continue this event in future years.
In 2015, our championships where held at the State Equestrian Centre and were very successful,
with over a100 riders attending over 2 days.
The competition was held in 4 rings including the indoor arena. This year we tried to make the
events easier for clubs to enter teams with the Bridge Woss and Sola Gain teams being able to
enter riders from the same zone not just their clubs. Also the height of the zone teams was lowered
to keep in line with the PCA nationals heights. The night time entertainment of the Jigsaw Pairs is
always popular with both rider and crowd.
Overall the weekend was a great success and we looking forward to many more years of show
jumping championships.
This year both Senior and Member riders attended the Nationals held in S.A. I am very pleased to
report that all riders competed extremely well and did our state very proud not only in regards to
their riding but also on the behaviour and attitude before and during the event.
Our senior team did extremely well in winning the show jumping teamâ€™s event. The first time WA
has won the senior show jumping. So I would like to extend from all the show jumping subcommittee
and everyone else a hearty congratulations. Keep up the good work for the next Nationals.
Also a big thank you to Stephen Johnson who coached the team along with all the helpers and the
parents. Thank you for all your hard work.
PROGRESSION
There will be Course Builders and Judging Seminars held in different zones to help
increase the numbers of officials within Pony Club WA in 2016 as training officials will increase the
knowledge of the show jumping and help clubs with having more officials available for their events.
The Tim Weigal Jumping Leader Board has been running well and we will endeavour to continue
you this in the coming years.
Thank you very much to the committee for your continued work and we hope to see you all on the
committee in 2016.

o13. state coaching panel
The State Coaching Panel has once again had a busy year, delivering
the Heathway funded Coaching clinics to zones, examining efficiency
certificate candidates and educating and accrediting coaches. 2015
began with a record number of coaches attending the 2015 State
coaching clinic, where popular coaches, Nellandra Henry, Philippa
Collier, Deborah Spencer and Gina Hendrie delivered sessions in
showjumping and flatwork and coaches also got to have a go at
participating in the sport of vaulting, have fun tying knots, learn
about horse float safety and talk to some Police Officers about road
safety. There were the usual static displays and bookstall upstairs
and people available to answer questions all day. Combined with an
examiner update evening held on the Saturday night, and an
eventing course design and technical delegate seminar this was a
really successful weekend for PCAWA. The focus in 2015 fell greatly
on gear checking, with many clinics requested and very well delivered
by Jacinta Withoud and Tracy Crocker. Preliminary and NCAS level
PC 1 clinics were held in metro and country areas. C*& K certificate
were also requested and again extremely well received.
The number of efficiency certificates achieved stayed very much the
same as 2014 with a slight decline in the new E certificate for riders
under the age of 7. This could have been due to it being a new
certificate in 2014. The Panel continues to aim to encourage Clubs to
value efficiency certificates as competitions continue to rise in
popularity. The Coaching Panel newsletter is extremely well received
by coaches and the dedicated editor Denise Legge works tirelessly
to ensure timely production. This production is a great asset to club
coaches and much enjoyed. Four times a year our national
representative coach attends the Pony Club Australia Coaching
Panel meetings, Deborah Spencer has filled this roll and is now being
assisted by Denise Legge. There have been some changes and
improvements in PCA and we look forward to the new Website and
data base and the possibilities it brings. The Coaching Panel is
grateful for the work of the Gear Checking Advisory Panel that have
the difficult job of reviewing the many items of gear that become
available in the saddlery stores and on line. It is necessary to move
forward with the times but also to ensure safety and comfort of
horse and rider. The various sports within the equestrian world are
becoming more and more professional in their approach; Pony Club
needs to stay relevant to our members by keeping up to date but
also within safe respected guidelines. This challenge we continue to
address.

The Gear Checking Advisory Panel (GCAP) launched the revised Gear Checking Manual
at the State Coaching School in February 2015, after much work to revise and improve
the document during 2014. The response to the new manual with positive and the â€˜sold
out the door like hot cakesâ€™, selling in excess of fifty manuals during the month of
February and March combined. The effort to improve this document will continue in
2016 with considerable revisions being planned to completely re-write the manual such
that the rules are assigned to one section (thus forming the rulebook) and gear fitting
guidelines assigned to a second section (thus forming a guidebook). GCAP will seek
input from various panels on this new format once it is drafted in mid-2016.
The goal for Gear Checking in 2015 was to increase gear checking education and
accreditation of members as gear checkers. The first half of 2015 saw four gear checking
clinics held in the Avon, Eastern, Central and South West zones. This is a four-time
increase on clinics held the year prior. An accreditation school was held mid-February in
West Coastal Zone. Five candidates became PCAWA Accredited Gear Checkers during
the year including Fiona Logan (Murray), Les Healey (Baldivis), Dianne Ould (Peel), Lou
Hardwick (Peel) and Jacinta Withoud (Horsemens). In prior years there had been no
accreditations and this improvement is attributed to active contact made by GCAP with
candidates to facilitate their accreditation. The Panel finds this goal was therefore
achieved in 2015.
In response to market and industry changes, GCAP investigated helmet standards,
medical armband options, balancing reins, rowel spurs and new chin strap fittings. These
investigations resulted in some amendments to the Gear Checking Guidelines which we
look forward to sharing in early 2016 with the release of the new Manual. Investigations
by GCAP, as a result of the EN1384 European helmet standard being revoked, were
taken to Pony Club Australia and the Panelâ€™s recommendations were adopted nationwide.
A proud moment for PCAWA, initiating change to protect and inform pony club members
around Australia with regards to helmets. Helmets with the EN1384 mark alone, and a
manufacture date of 2016 or newer will not be recognised as a suitable standard. The
VG1 standard, at present is the new standard used for testing helmets manufactured in
Europe.
Late 2015 saw a Gear Checking Feedback Survey and the response was fantastic (384
completed surveys) and revealed some clear ways to improve gear checking guidelines
and processed. This feedback was taken immediately on board and is reflected in
coloured irons, treads, trousers and white jodhpurs now being permitted in all activities
as of 2016. The survey made it very clear, that there continues to be a need for increased
education in the area of gear checking, particularly the professional and effective process
of gear checking. As part of a consolidated Improvement Strategy, education will again
be a goal for 2016, with GCAP working with SCP to proactively attend zones around the
state and offer gear checking education.

The Swan Zone welcomed Herdsman Pony Club located in Herdsman Lake as they
gained their affiliation with PCAWA during 2014. Herdsman is a small club of 12 very
enthusiastic members. They participated in the State Showjumping Championships for
the first time and had some great results.
With only four clubs in the Zone we took advantage of the Zone Selection held in
conjunction with the PCAWA Showjumping Training Day and joined with the Hills Zone
for the Dressage Selection Day.
The Zone had several teams at the State Showjumping Championships and one team at
the State Dressage.
Swan Valley and Horsemenâ€™s held very successful Hunter Trials, which are always
highlights of the Pony Club season. Swan Valley has about 80 members this year, with
Wanneroo and Horsemens having half those numbers as active members.
The Marsden Cup was held at Horsemen PC and the Zone also introduced the â€œWilkie
Cupâ€ â€“ High Point trophy for clubs outside of the Hills Zone and Swan Zone who
participate in the Marsden Cup. The Wilkie Cup was won by South Midland Junior Team.
Wanneroo and Horsemens are experiencing the growth of housing in their areas, which
is putting pressure on membership numbers. Both clubs are looking at ways to increase
numbers in the club as well as providing events that cater for those in the area. Horsemens
had developed a Showjumping Club, while Wanneroo has introduced new events to the
calendar such as Invitational Gymkhanas and Showman Day. Both Wanneroo and
Horsemens have received positive lease agreements for the future.
In 2016, the Zone is looking forward to working together to offer workshops that are
beneficial to the membership in developing the riders and parents and networking more
closely with each other.

Once again the Zone was most fortunate in securing another yearâ€™s funding from the Department of Sport and
Recreation as part of the Regional Organisational Sustainability Program. This funding has helped the Zone with
the following activities:
â€¢ funded attendance at the State Coaching School 2015
â€¢ organising Run-offs for State Show Jumping and Dressage Championships
â€¢ holding Zone competitions (host clubs are allowed to retain surplus funds) for Games, Show Jumping and
Eventing
â€¢ help fund external coaches to compliment the good work done by our volunteer coaches
â€¢ purchasing Coaching Workbooks.
The relatively new E Level Certificate is proving popular with our younger riders. The workbooks (manuals) still
need a bit more promotion at club level (one of my task for 2016).
King River hosted the Zone ODE and for many on the organising side of things it was a new experience but this is
the way clubs can build depth and prevent â€œvolunteer burnoutâ€. King River also hosted the dressage Run-Offs.
Many of our Associate riders are busy with study and or work and some of our riders at the State Championships
were new to this level of competition but you have to start somewhere. Thank you to Catlin Pritchard, Jana Kirek,
Kiarra Putland, Brittany Hoveler, Rachael Oâ€™Meara (all King River) and Bethany Rainbow (Albany). Bethany won the
OTT prize for the second year running. Howâ€™s that for consistency?
Again we had relatively small numbers at the State Showjumping Championship. Kojonup members deserve a
special mention with their second placing in the Solargain Jumping Bursary - well done Claire Harcourt-Smith,
Bella Rae, Annabelle and Kate Trezise. Another pair of sisters: Satika and Kirra Putland (King River) along with
Victoria Squire (West Plantagenet) put up a credible performance in the Brigid Woss Equitation (plus Lizzie Craine
from Orange Grove). Amy Kennedy (Albany) was delighted with Timely Reign in the 80cm classes.
West Plantagenet riders Natasha Verazzi and Edwina Squire were our representatives at the State Eventing
Championships. Harriet Presser-Jones and Kate Trezise both made it to the Eventing Leadership Board.
Highlight of the year for Victoria Squire (West Plantagenet) was representing WA as part of the Showjumping and
Senior Tetrathlon teams with these teams coming second and first respectively. Well done Tori.
Kojonup has gone from strength to strength with a very vibrant group of supporters. Their ODE was very well
attended although at one stage all the local ambulances were deployed - nothing serious though.
West Plantagenet conducted their traditional Easter School with riders enjoying a busy and educational 3 days -
the club house oven catching fire created a certain amount of excitement and has since been replaced. The club
also ran a generously sponsored Showjumping Series.
Katanning took up the offer of partnering with a Metro sister club and have had the Baldivis experience, coming
back with lots of new ideas for rallies.
The joint Albany/King River rally again was a fun affair as it was run as a mini Trek competition with riders
completing a handy pony/x-country course, a mini orienteering phase and control of paces (fast walk/slow canter
- more difficult than it looked). Great fun for all, and thatâ€™s what Pony Club is all about.
My thanks to all the volunteers in the Great Southern Region, to hard working Committee members and to the
support and advice form Head Office. Best wishes for a tremendous 2016.

Midlands Zone continues to have two active clubs in Central Midlands Riding and Pony Club
and Bindoon Range Pony Club.
Zone activities this year have included:
A showjumping school cumulating in selection of zone teams for the state showjumping
championships. Four riders represented Midlands Zone including Anna Kelly, Amber Lewis, Sally
Keeffe and Ashlee Topham. Anna was also selected to ride in the Senior State Showjumping
Team at the National championships. The zone is very proud of Anna on her contribution to
PCAWA in showjumping.
A zone novelties run off and active riding training. Midlands zone was represented by four riders
at the Active Riding Championships including Michelle Seymour, Amber Lewis, Nina Howard
and Ashlee Topham. Michelle and Ashlee also represented the zone at the PPMG Pairs
Competition at the IGA Perth Royal Show.
The combined Midlands Zone Pony Club Gymkhana and wind up. This event enables mixed age
teams to compete in a range of games. The day always brings out the best in our riders as they
help their other team members and have fun.
At the zone windup the annual zone Citizenship Award is presented to a rider who has a great
attitude and regularly helps other riders, the club and at equestrian events within the zone. This
yearâ€™s winner was Brooke Kenny from Central Midlands Riding and Pony Club.

Well here we are again at the end of another great season of Pony Club in the Northern zone.
Once again this year we have had a wonderful year with many old and new members.
Zone schools have been great again, thank you to Marie for organising these to go ahead, thank
you to the clubs for hosting and feeding the attendees, and thank you to our amazing instructors,
Katrin Keunstler, Deb Spencer, Stephen Johnson, Nellandra Henry and Philippa Collier for their
instruction. Once again riders gained great instruction and it is wonderful to see many members
improving each time they attend these schools.
Unfortunately, the games school we had arranged had to be cancelled due to busy schedules.
Hopefully we may be able to sort a games school for next season.
We had two great ODES within the Zone this year, one held by Moonyoonooka Horse and Pony
Club and one held by the Northern zone, they were both great events. I would like to commend
Moonyoonooka Horse and Pony Club members and Graham Scott on their Cross Country Course,
it is looking fantastic and the new water jump is awesome and having great courses with a bit of
difference is great for our competitors.
The Zone Tetrathlon was another great day, enjoyed by everyone who attended.
Once again we had many of our members competing out of Pony Club with great success, always
being complimented on the attitudes and abilities. Which is great to hear about our members as it
gives Pony Club a great name.
Even though the Zone actually only run two competitions over the year, it is great to see clubs
within our zone holding great events and being attended by other club members, this says a lot
about our zone and its members.
We also had many members from our zone clubs travel again, although not representing the zone,
they are still clubs within our zone, and this might be something we need to look at, getting these
members qualifying and competing in our Zone colours at state events.
I would like to make special mention again this year to Marie Hart, who as most of us know year
after year puts in an extreme amount of work behind the scenes as well as what we see her doing.
Also would like to thank everyone who has done something, small or large this year to make the
year successful, some have done more than others but thatâ€™s sport and clubs. You can only do what
you can, but every little bit helps,
This season will be my last as president as the term of three years is up. So the zone will be looking
for a new president next year at the AGM date will be announced in the New Year.
All other positions will be open as well, please get along and to the AGM, and think about taking on
a position, being part of this is a great learning experience in all aspects of Pony Club.
Once again thank you to everyone involved and letâ€™s strive for another great season in 2016

As the year comes to a close I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the
committee members of the South Eastern Zone along with the committees, members
and supporters of all the clubs that make up our zone. I appreciate all the time taken out
of our everyday lives to keep the clubs and zone running smoothly and so we can
provide the best opportunities for the members to learn and grow with their riding and
horsemastership. The hours that go into our memberâ€™s development is evident in the
successful year that many, if not all, of our members have had. Your efforts donâ€™t go
unnoticed and although it isnâ€™t said enough, you are all very much appreciated. I would
also like to thank PCAWA and all of the volunteers for their ongoing support.
Please see below our individual club reports for 2015.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas along with a
happy and safe new year. See you all in 2016!

Our clubs have all had a busy and successful year in the past 12 months. Clubs have run not only
their rallies and gymkhanas, hicksteads, ODEâ€™s, & breed shows but have also sent representatives
to zone, state and national events. The zone clubs had riders at the state Festival, Tetrathlon,
Showjumping Championships, the Novelty & PPMG Championships, Royal Show Invitational
Display and the Nationals. A very busy year was had by all.
Toodyay has changed its name to Mortlock and has successfully moved to their new grounds at
Goomalling. Many hours of hard work have gone into this move and with many more to go. This
club must be commended for its hard work and dedication led by its small band of workers.
The Zone Showjumping selection day in April was run by South Midlands. While there was only a
small number of riders riding in the selection rounds, it was great to see riders attempting the
smaller courses. Our Zone team placed 1st in the 80cms Pony event at the PCAWA State
Championships. Zone ODE hosted by York was held over two days with 48 entries and a large
contingent of entries from outside the zone.
The Zone Dressage Selection Day was hosted by South Midlands in conjunction with the Zone
Camp at Avon Valley. There were only three riders competing.
The Zone PPMG & Novelties day was hosted by Mortlock at Avon Valleyâ€™s grounds. PPMGâ€™s saw
5 Novice teams and 3 Junior Teams and 3 Senior Teams. 32 Zone Riders from 4 clubs rode in the
Novelties.
The Zone Camp was a huge undertaking in 2015 held at the Avon Valley grounds. Thank you to
Sally Davis and Jess Joy for all their efforts. There were 36 riders who attended the over the three
days and a great time was had by all.
Efficiency certificate exams have been sat at various levels at all clubs this year with a 3rd of the
zoneâ€™s membership passing exams and moving onto the next level. Congratulations to all those
riders.
South Midlands rider Tessa Forbes was selected to represent Australia in the International Mounted
Games. She rode very well and their team came first. Nine riders from the Avon Zone travelled
their horses across the Nullabor to compete in the Pony Club National Championships in Murray
Bridge SA. All these riders represented their state, zone and clubs superbly and should be
congratulated for their efforts.
