I have been a member of pony club since I was 7 years old. I lived on a farm in South Africa and owned little old pony named Heather. I really new nothing about how to care for her or how to compete in shows. I attended all the pony club rally's hosted by Ashburton Pony Club in SA and learnt so much. Since joining I have attended all interbranches, (except last year as it was cancelled due to COVID-19) I have been riding Love of Luxuries now since 2018, she is simply the most kind and gentle horse. As a little girl I used to be so scared to compete and now I just love riding and competing my beautiful girl. I made it into the inter-regional team for dressage in 2019 and was part of the team that won the quadrel. I have completed my C test and already done my training for my C+ test. I plan to have horses in my life forever and pony club is a very exciting way to learn and achieve in this goal.

I hope everyone had as much fun participating in this comp as I did and a massive thank you to the organisers!

Hi, we have been riding BFF for a few years and we always enjoy riding and learning together.  There were a few hiccups as we were preparing for the test.  Hal has been unwell and we did not get a chance to practice as a pair until the filming day, and on top Jasmine the mare was not too thrill with the gelding Hal on the day and tried to kicked him a few times so we have to keep a little 'safe' distance.  We carefully chose hip hop rhythmic and upbeat music so we hope you like it. This is the first time we compete in Par de 2.  Thank you and we had loads of fun!

Rachael is 13 years old and a member of Cambridge Pony Club. Her pony George is a pony with a lot of attitude! We have owned him since he was a green broke 3 year old and Rachael has schooled him herself. He has made it clear he does NOT want to jump so he is lucky he is cute and Rachael enjoys dressage. He was originally a rescue from a dog tucker yard so we will never know his breeding. This is an amazing opportunity so thank you to everyone for making it happen. Good luck riders :-)

Hi my name is Jelena. Cricket and I have been riding partners and pals for three years. Cricket is 20 years old, and he is a 14.2hh Welsh pony. We both love dressage, especially Cricket. It’s one of his special skills. It keeps him calm and focused. We have ridden in several schooling shows and a few non-schooling shows. We’ve experienced our challenges as a team but have now gained a bond and trust we never had before. Cricket and I belong to the Western Ontario Region where we live on a farm and attend Blue Mountain Pony Club. I’ve been a part of Blue Mountain Pony Club since I was seven and I have learnt things I wouldn’t have learnt otherwise. I am grateful to have the opportunity to experience Pony Club.

Weather was 4 degrees with a windchill factor of -3 with 25 mls of rain the night before!  We were right in the middle of weaning 450 cows and calves so had to wait for the cattle trucks and cows to leave before we could commence the tests.  That's life in Rural New South Wales!!!
I have been in full time employment as an Engineering Assistant at Walcha Shire Council since January 2021 having completed my Year 12 studies last year.  I live on a large cattle property in northern NSW.  I have two horses namely “Chooch” who is entered and an OTT which I am currently training to be an eventer.  I have had “Chooch” for 5 years where we have won numerous State pony club events from dressage to showjumping equitation.  We have also placed at Pony Club Nationals in Novice Dressage and Eventing and Dressage at EA Interschool Nationals.  “Chooch” was pulled out of the paddock on the day of filming as she is retiring from the competition scene to hopefully go in foal shortly.

My name is DB. I am 11 years old and have been a member of Chiddingfold Farmers Pony Club since I was 4 years old. I love riding and like to event. Last month I competed for Great Britain at Children On Horses at dressage. Jinks is a 13.2 hand gelding. He is a 19 year old New Forest pony who I have had for two years. We mainly do dressage, but we also like to jump. We are the British native part bred prelim champions and came eighth in the British prelim championships and recently won both under 21 sections in the novice and elementary qualifiers. We are very thankful to be chosen for this particular competition and are having fun improving and learning new things every single day. One of Jinks’  hidden talents is apple bobbing and we recently discovered that he is partial to a whipped cream latte.

Nadine Dickinson
Competitive riding has been my passion since childhood. When I was 6 I became a member of the Hilton Pony Club in KwaZulu Natal, which later merged with the Karkloof Howick branch. I often attended camps, clinics and tests. I did E, D, C and C plus. At the moment I am preparing for the B test.
I started my competitive career as an all rounder with mounted games, eventing, equitation, dressage and show jumping. Over the past 2 years I have focussed on dressage and show jumping. With Mount Sharshar Silver Flight I reached Elementary Medium and at the moment I am developing Gwynavere to achieve EM too. In 2018 I spent some time in the Netherlands and had the opportunity to ride one of the top Grand Prix Andalusian stallions, Don Enamorado. This sparked my passion for dressage even more.
I am looking forward to competing in the virtual competition, with my friend Tristan Strauss.

Tristan Strauss
I’m Tristan Strauss, and I will be riding my beautiful chestnut mare named Poise whom I adopted from Coastal Horse Care Unit as on Off the Track Thoroughbred four years ago. I have been a member of Karkloof Howick Pony Club since 2015. I was awarded victor ludorum at my very first Interbranch competition. The best award I received from Pony Club was the “Spirit of Pony Club” award by the KZN Committee and I was super grateful to be selected to represent KZN Pony Club at the Guateng Interbranch. At the Guateng Interbranch I achieved the best dressage score of the day on a loaned horse, I do have to admit here that he was a schoolmaster and a privilege to ride. I have passed both my C+ Ridden and Horse Care and am currently studying towards my B test.

This is Nadine and Tristan's very first attempt at the Pas De Deux, they have had so much fun doing this. A few challenging moments with the two chestnut mares, but have loved every moment. Thank you for putting this competition together.
