New things to try at Pony Club
Pony Club in Australia has moved on from the days of routine sports like jumping, games and dressage (‘flat work’). Nowadays you could see members doing tetrathlons, tentpegging, polocrosse, horse archery, quiz, vaulting, horse ball, working equitation and more.

The Ned Twohill Teams Eventing saw three generations of riders compete at the Southport Pony & Hack Club last weekend in Queensland. Iris Jenkins, 9 years of age, Tarryn Jenkins, Iris’s mother and Sharon White, Iris's grandmother all represented the Yandina Pony Club at this annual event.
Olympians pitch in for the Pony Club Australia Virtual National Championships
On returning from Tokyo, some of Australia’s top equestrian Olympians have pitched in to help Pony Club Australia with their Virtual National Championships this year. Andrew Hoy, Shane Rose and Kevin McNab took time out of their schedules to record questions for the National Quiz competition. All the Olympians were Pony Club alumni (past members) who have previously shared their enjoyment and knowledge gained from their Pony Club years. Atlanta gold medallist Wendy Schaeffer, who rode her Pony Club horse at the Olympics, also contributed questions.
How Jamie Kah, Pony Club Alumna, became one of the best jockeys in Australia
Jamie Kah has earned titles like Metropolitan Jockey of the Year and Provincial Jockey of the Year in South Australia, and currently leads the Victorian Jockey Premiership. Jamie did not become one of the best jockeys in Australia overnight. She has put in a lifetime of hard work and devotion to horse riding, and she attributes much of her success to her time in Pony Club.
