Kids from across the clubs far and wide joined Lake Albert Pony Club members at the annual camp on the first weekend of the school holidays.
Horse and riders were put through a range of activities from the Olympic disciplines of dressage, showjumping and eventing to the Australian grown team penning, polocrosse and sporting.
Lake Albert Pony Club vice president Michelle Eastwood said the camp proved beneficial for all who took part.
“The great thing about camp is that all children get to try everything without competition nerves,” Eastwood said.
“They are on their horses for three days which can see amazing advancement over that time.
“We had a number of children with firsts over the weekend.”
Instructors, local business, parents and community members volunteered their time, food and other items to make the event possible.
Children participated from the age of five to 18 and from all over the Riverina-Murray region, including Pony Club Zones 12 and 20.
Eastwood believes the camp created lasting memories for a number of riders.
“Whether it is the first time off the lead, the first cross country jump or the first experience with a real live cow, Lake Albert Pony Club camp built amazing memories for everyone involved,” Eastwood said.
