DYNAMIC DASH 💙 Lynette, from Rosewood Pony Club in QLD, told us all about her 13-year-old gelding and why he deserves to be Horse of the Week. Here's what she had to say:"I've had Dash since he was a yearling...and we've been a riding combination for a decade now, competing in dressage, showjumping, eventing, working equitation, sporting, and many things in between."We've ridden at National and State level for combined training, and aim to compete at state level eventing and combined training this year. We have also just started competing at elementary level dressage, and have just moved up from introductory eventing to preliminary eventing. I'm so excited for our journey ahead!"Dash is the quirkiest horse I've met, he neighs like a pony for food, will be all over you like a puppy at the sound of a treat bag, and loves his smooches."⭐ Congratulations on 10 years together, Lynette and Dash! What a partnership you have formed! It's fantastic to see what you've accomplished, and hear about your plans for the future. Keep up the incredible work!#PonyClubAustralia #ALifeWithHorsesStartsHere #PonyClubProud #PonyOfTheWeek #HorseOfTheWeek

A thought to start your Thursday...💚 "If you are fond of a horse and wish to do him a real favour - train him well. Teach him good manners, good habits, both in the stable and under saddle. "You never need worry about the future of such a horse if, for any reason, you may have to part with him you assure him of friends wherever he goes. "Perhaps the greatest kindness you can do any horse is to educate him well," Tom Roberts, Australian horseman.#PonyClubAustralia #PonyClubProud #ALifeWithHorsesStartsHere

There are so many fun things you can do at Pony Club! 🤠 At Toongabbie Pony Club's May rally, members enjoyed an awesome team penning activity. Not only was it a blast, but it also built skills for one of our popular PCA sports, campdrafting. Curious about the differences between the two?
