NORTHERN ZONE ELIMINATIONS 2012
If riders are interested in participating in the 2012 Northern Zone Eliminations it is very important to tell Louisa what they would like to compete in ASAP. The events at Zones are:
- Individual Preliminary, Novice and Elementary Dressage
- Four on the Flat
- Individual E, D, C, B and A Grade Showjumping
- Mounted Games Team
- Junior/Senior Horse & Rider of the Year.

This is important because we need to put together any possible Four on the Flat teams as soon as we can so that the team/s can have as many practises as possible.

If you have any questions as to what any of these events are, or are not sure what would be suitable for you/your child etc, please contact us.


Open Showjumping Series – 9th of October

October 17, 2011

On Sunday the 9th of October, we held the first competition of our three-part Open Showjumping Series. This was the first competition our club has held open to other pony clubs in more than six years, and was a huge success!

With a very impressive turnout, the grounds were packed with floats and trucks. There were riders from clubs as far as Clare, Bute and Port Augusta, as well as several participants from our own club.

The heights, ranging from poles on the ground to 110cm, were jumped exremely well by some excellent showjumpers of the area.

The Crystal Brook Pony Club would like to say thank you very much to Gay Growden for judging the jumping, to Molly Hill for designing a brilliant course and for timing, to Louisa Berndt for pencilling, to Andrea Catford for doing a fantastic job of running the canteen, to everyone who helped raising the jumps, and to everyone who came and participated in the day.

The last two parts of the series are on Sunday the 6th of November and Saturday the 3rd of December. Click here for the flyer.
