Branches & Centres were invited last year to apply to be part of The Pony Club Musical Ride Competition on Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th July at The Royal Festival of The Horse. This was a wonderful opportunity for Branch & Centre Members to have a great deal of fun displaying their talents in front of capacity crowds.
