Pony club riders aimed high at the annual gymkhana competition, reaching high scores during the day.
Riders across Queensland flocked to Beaudesert Showgrounds to join zone 2 riders from Scenic Rim and Jimboomba at the event on Sunday, October 8.
The event saw riders compete in three disciplines – showjumping, formal presentation and sporting.
Club president Melissa Leary said the day was a success seeing 60 riders at the Beaudesert Pony Club grounds.
“The event brought the pony riding community and clubs from all around Queensland together,” she said.
“We wanted to thank our sponsors for supporting the club that made the event a great day for riders.”
Ms Leary said she was thrilled to see a good turnout from zone 2 riders.
“It was great to see up and coming lead line riders, who are seven years and under, competing,” she said.
