Thank you to all 20 members who represented Hong Kong Pony Club.

Special congratulations to...

Class 4 (Medium level) - Individual 5th and Team 1st

The annual HKJC Children's Challenge Cup has officially begun with the first heat having taken place at the Lei Yue Mun Stables this month. Six teams from across all the riding schools in Hong Kong took part in the jumping event showcasing their impressive jumping skills. 

Navigating jumps between 20cm to 50cm, the competition aims to highlight the rider's abilities and build confidence in both themselves and the sport. The atmosphere was electric as friends and family cheered these talented riders on. We can't wait to see all the incredible moments that will unfold as the competition goes on. Good luck to all our young competitors - let the games begin! 

This year, HKPC is hosting over 230 competitors from Pony Clubs in 11 countries on our padlet for the annual Pony Club International Dressage Show. All videos have been uploaded and are currently being scored by international judges. The results will be available on 19th October, 2024.

Hong Kong Pony Club is proudly represented in this show by 20 riders across 6 classes. If you have time to watch just one video, please check out the Class 5 Pas de Deux Dressage to Music entry submitted by Laura Watt and Georgia Thompson from BREC. It's absolutely lovely.

Thank you to every member of our team for showing up and doing your best.  We are especially grateful to the riding centres and all parents for supporting our competitors to practice and film their dressage tests.

A huge heartfelt thank you goes out to Deborah Coulson for hosting a series of Practical Pony Care sessions for our Pony Club members who are working towards their C Test.   Deborah's dedication and passion for equestrian care truly shone through providing an invaluable opportunity for our children to enhance their pony care skills. 

Our young enthusiasts got to learn all the essentials of grooming, feeding and caring for their ponies. It was inspiring to see their confidence grow as they interacted with the ponies and applied new techniques under her guidance. We look forward to seeing Deborah back at the stables again soon when she visits Hong Kong next time!

This Summer, Lo Wu Saddle Club hosted five mini Pony Club camps with 55 registrations. There were many first-time experiences for our members… first-time hacking, first-time barrel rides, first-time mounted games, first-time mucking out.  The camps were super fun and educational! Everyone went home with big smile, equally important, ponies were happy with their big apples ^_^

Big thank you to the Lo Wu Saddle Club, to the instructors: Luci Friend, Manki Yung, Becky Barber and to our generous volunteers: Ivy Ip, Jeffrey Wong, Annabel Zhao, Lilly Hirth, Rosy Zheng, Gloria Chu, Claire Chen and Jolene Otremba for making it happen.

Sierra was diagnosed with a rare synovial sarcoma cancer a year ago. She underwent two surgeries and many rounds of chemotherapy while doing radiotherapy. The treatment was long and very tough but Sierra made it through with her positive attitude and beautiful smiles ^_^

It is incredible seeing Sierra back to riding, laughing and having fun with her four-leg friends  at paddocks and stables. What a brave, strong and beautiful young lady, you are amazing, Sierra !!
