Wanted – Loan pony for Main Pony Camp, July 2011

Our two girls aged 11 and 14 would like to attend main pony camp this summer but we have only one pony! Both girls attended pony camp last year – one at Mini Camp and one at main camp and we were able to use the same pony for both.

Both girls are experienced riders and have done many PC Rallies. We are looking for a horse / pony with experience of rallies and pony camp that is well behaved. We either need a pony up to 13 hands for our youngest to ride or a horse up to 15 hands for the eldest.

If anyone has a pony they would be willing to loan out for pony camp please contact T Williams on 07787 578466.
