Easter activities

Lots of our FnD members out and about last weekend.

  • Mountain Ride & Fun day, we had great weather and fun.
  • 2 day Mounted Games competition at Berwyn & Dee Branch.
  • Weekend of Polocrosse at Dallas Burton Polo Club.

Well done to you all for supporting your Branch.

Polocrosse Report

This weekend four members of Flint & Denbigh Pony Club travelled down to Dallas Burston in Warwickshire for the Pony Club Arena Challenge. It was a fantastic weekend of Polocrosse. Katie was riding in the Open Senior section in a team with the South Shropshire Pony Club. This was the first time the team have ridden together and they all rode brilliantly to come third especially considering one team member was on a new horse.

Leia was competing in a mixed team in the Intermediate Seniors section for the first time and was riding her new horse Carraig. They formed a great partnership and came second place.

Isabella and Daisy played in the Area 5 team with Dan and won the Open Junior section of the competition with Daisy getting best Number 1 and Isabella getting best Number 3 in the Open Junior section. Isabella’s horse Chuna also got joint Best Horse in the 2022 Pony Club Polocrosse League.

Berwyn and Dee Mounted Games Weekend

3 teams set out to the games this weekend. What a fun time they all had. They road in 2 sessions on the Saturday. The ponies were penned for the night and the kids set off to the tug of war and silent disco. They danced the night away! After a night camping they spent the morning cheering on the Flint & Denbigh seniors. Then it was their turn to ride in the final. The Diamonds came 2nd out of 12 teams in the A final, Stripes came 6th out of 12 in the A final, and the Quarters came 5th in the B final. 

What a fun weekend. If you fancy giving it a go, all welcome at the training.
