The Pony Club Enjoy Inaugural Endurance Championships

The Pony Club Enjoy Inaugural Endurance Championships Following the launch of Endurance riding as an official Pony Club discipline in March, The Pony Club held their inaugural Endurance Championships at The College EC, Bedfordshire on September 20th. Pony Club Endurance is generously supported by new sponsor Carr & Day & Martin and the Championships ran alongside the EGB Cromwell Group's annual ‘The College Ride'. The sun shone on the Championships, where Pony Club Members taking part had qualified at Pony Club Endurance rides all over the country throughout the year. Approximately 50 Pony Club competitors took part in the Championships across Junior (eight to 12 years) and Senior (over 13 years) levels, both individually and in teams.

As with the other Pony Club disciplines classes were set at Novice (32km at 10km per hour), Intermediate (40km at 11km per hour) and Open (40km at 12km per hour).

The eventual winners came from all over The Pony Club map from Cheshire to Buckinghamshire and Yorkshire to Lancashire, and were treated to goodies from the sponsor Carr & Day & Martin

"We are thrilled with how well our inaugural Pony Club Endurance Championships have run" commented Cherry Michell, Chairman of The Pony Club. "The fantastic weather showed even more what a fitting discipline Endurance is for The Pony Club, with Members from all over the map coming to ride across the countryside, with a solid knowledge of equine welfare"
