Delegate Pony Club welcomed Nathan Marshall and his wife Nadine from Happy Horse Australia. Nathan spoke and demonstrated to the riders about hoof maintenance and knowledge. The riders were engaged in the session with Nathan and they thanked him for his time.
Rowena Butterworth ran the riders through their paces in jumping and placement on before running the groups through mounted games and techniques. They worked on the Postman's Chase, Rope Race and Cupcake race with real cupcakes at the end once riders had collected all their ingredients.
By all accounts a fun time was had by the riders and their ponies.
Delegate Pony Club would like to thank Nathan and Nadine for attending their rally day and demonstrating hoof care; Rachel Butterworth; and a special thank you to Rowena Butterworth whose birthday it was and she still made sure the riders had a lot of fun and yummy cake.
