What an amazing few days at Pony Club Championships. Fun, friendship, memories made, and results that these children have worked so hard for! I couldn't be any more proud of our teams!
We arrived on Wednesday with the lorry packed with everything we could possibly think of - including the plastic leg! On arrival it was great to bump into to some of our younger members who had beaten us to it and got there earlier in the day to take part in the Centre Day and were having a blast!
I then went to take part in a very informative coaching CPD with Sarah Verney and Simon Grieve on course design.
The boys then met up with Alice for an unexpected Kahoots Quiz in the main arena, and started their run of prizes with a 3rd place and some great Pony Club merch.
On Thursday morning they were up and raring to go, ready for the National Finals of the Mini 'Blue Cross' Horse and Pony Care Championships. Bea arrived to join Alice and Ted and we spent a long morning revising, practicing and going over everything we could think of that could possibly come up. After a quick refuel it was time to get them neat tidy, polished and ready to go; and the heavens opened!! It was a quick last minute scrabble round to find coats to keep them dry before the long walk down to the stable yard. We sat nervously watching the scores come in, their first round wasn't strong but we knew it was a big ask, neither Bea or Alice had been before, Bea was only very very little still - they had worked incredibly hard and they couldn't have done any more, but then their scores kept getting better and better! After 10 tough rounds the final scores went up and they had finished 2nd out of 48 teams from all over the UK at the National Championships!! The icing on the Cake - Ted was awarded runner up Best Individual in his final year as a Mini. We couldn't be more proud of what they have achieved!
There was not much rest for Ted as it was time to lock in, and straight back to the revision ready for the Juniors on Friday with Toby and Lottie (all back together again after their Mini success as a team in '22 and '23). These 3 have worked harder than they have ever worked this year and have put hours and hours of hard work in. On Friday it showed - they were confident determined and focused and they put in an amazing prrformance, only dropping 13 marks over 10 rounds in a competition where the standard and difficulty seems to go up every year, to become 'Blue Cross' Junior National Horse and Pony Care Champions!! This mattered so much to them and I am beyond proud of them all!! What a few days and what a Championships!!

Camp 2026!! What a camp!!
With less older members staying overnight and more Mini's joining us during the day we crammed in the fun - from evening hacks, wheel barrow races, late night card games, middle of the night games of tig, swimming, pizza, early morning yards before breakfast, flatwork, course jumping, mounted games and lots and lots of Horse and Pony Care practice for those going to Champs.
With our youngest and newest members joining us during the day the fun was non stop, arriving beautifully clean within 10 minutes most of them looked like we had sent them down the mines!! They joined in with the yard work, groomed ponies, mucked out fields, learnt more about Horse and Pony Care, did lots of riding and lots of mounted games, we even managed to fit in a biathlon with beanbag throwing and running (I think its time to get the next set of Mill House Triathletes started!!) and the highlight playing in the pool to cool down. Lots of smiles lots of memories made and lots of children already planning for next year!!
