Two young riders from Grenfell Pony Club and Zone 2 have proudly represented their community on one of the biggest stages in the country, competing in the Pony Club Classes at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
Adelaide Conron riding Nulla and Ava Baker on Biscuits rode with confidence and composure as they competed against Pony Club riders from all over NSW.
Their dedication to training was clear in the way they presented themselves and their horses, demonstrating polished skills, excellent horsemanship, and the sportsmanship that sits at the heart of Pony Club values.
Pony Club continues to be one of the best pathways for young equestrians to learn, grow, and have a great time with friends.
It offers structured coaching, supportive friendships, and opportunities to compete at every level, from local rallies to major state events like the Sydney Royal Easter Show and State Championships.
Zone 2 President Antonia Brown said the girls’ achievements reflect both their hard work and the strength of the Grenfell Pony Club community.
“Adelaide and Ava rode beautifully and represented Zone 2 and Grenfell Pony Club with such pride," Antonia said.
"They and their families worked incredibly hard to get to this level, and it showed in the way they handled themselves in the ring. We’re very proud of their efforts.”
The season continues to offer exciting opportunities for riders across the district. Canowindra Pony Club will host their competition weekend on 16–17 May, welcoming riders from across the region.
In November this year, Zone 2, the region which Grenfell Pony club is a part of, will proudly host the Pony Club NSW State Showjumping and Jumping Equitation Championships in Gundagai, drawing competitors from all corners of the state.
