Cannonvalley Pony Club hosted a fantastic weekend of equestrian competition on 31 May and 1 June, featuring a full day of dressage followed by a day of combined training – a discipline comprising a dressage test and a jumping round.
The event was fortunate to have beautiful weather, making for a safe and enjoyable competition. The hosting club was well represented, alongside riders travelling from across the Whitsundays, Mackay, and as far as Dysart, all vying for qualifiers or exposure ahead of the upcoming state event.
The weekend was a celebration of fine riding, great sportsmanship, and strong community spirit. Spectators enjoyed excellent viewing, and the standard of horsemanship on display was something the club is immensely proud of.
A heartfelt thank you goes to our generous sponsors – Horseland Mackay for providing prizes, and our sponsors Warren Transport, BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort, and Bendigo Bank for their valued support.
