DC REPORT

Hi everyone we have the horse dentist, James Harvey with us this Sunday.

For those people wanting their horse’s teeth done please make an

appointment.

You will notice that the number of groups has increased to 5. That is

because the number of our members is increasing. It also allows me to

group our members into more suitable groups.

Mooroolbark Pony Club will be visiting us for our July rally. There will be 8

groups in total. It would be really helpful if anyone not intending on

coming to the July rally, to please let me know.

Instructors this rally are Laura Thorbecke (replacing Brenda who is on a

cruise), Robbie Allen, Edith Kane-welcome back Edith after breaking her

leg, Jacqui Boyle and Rebecca Rundle.

OUR MAY RALLY, BRENDA’S BIRTHDAY & YERINGBERG

ZONE TEAM HORSE TRIALS.

Our May rally was quite a small affair with a large number of our riders competing at Yeringberg zone team horse

trials. We did however welcome some new faces at this rally. Jess Ellis is actually not a new face but rather a face

from the past who returned to our Pony Club this rally; it was great to see you back Jess. Tamara Lee also came for a

visit this rally; hopefully she will be a regular face around the club too. The George family who visited a couple of

rallies ago are now a permanent fixture and The DePury family now have 2 riders Tas and Orlando. We warmly

welcome all our new and prospective new members to our club; if you see them around please make them feel

welcome.

The highlight of the day I am sure was Brenda’s 80th Birthday. Brenda has been an integral part of our club for a long

time now, making sure our youngest riders start off their riding futures with all the correct foundations. We know

our riders are in good hands under Brenda’s watchful eye. Our Shetlands group in particular took great pleasure in

presenting Brenda with a gift and a Birthday cake which was shared not only at Pony club but also with the families

at Yeringberg! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDA!!!

A large number of our riders competed at Yeringberg in the teams horse trials.Teams

are used to determine the final placings for the teams. None of the teams Lilydale Pony

Club were in; placed on the day, however it was still a hugely succesful day with a

number of our riders achieving personal goals. All of our riders were great

representatives of our club and they should all be congratulated on their efforts.

MOOROOLBARK PONY CLUB INVITES LILYDALE TO PLAY FOR THE DAY

Mooroolbark Pony Club very kindly invited a small number of Lilydale riders to attend as guests at their rally day last

Sunday. I am sure they would have loved to invite us all but due to size limitations they could only accommodate a

lucky few. Maddy, Sam, Phoebe, Jas, Hannah ,Ivy, Tash and Isaac all attended on the day with more hoping for a

spot. All the kids turned up not really knowing what to expect, they all, parents included wore a red ribbon to be in

the spirit of the day, this did not go unnoticed by the Mooroolbark riders and parents. From the moment we arrived

we were made to feel very welcome by both parents and riders. The format of the day was very similar to ours, with

our riders slotting easily into their groups and really enjoying their day of riding. Without a doubt the highlight of the

day was the final session which was polocrosse. All of our riders were a little hesitant not knowing what to expect,

but once they warmed up Lilydale proved themselves to be a force to be reckoned with and I am sure we left a

lasting impression on Mooroolbark Pony Club! Lilydale Pony Club welcomes Mooroolbark to our July rally.

DUTIES: Kitchen Duties Assist in the preparation of the lunch, setting up of luncheon tables and cooking hamburgers from 9am until 10.30am. At lunchtime, one person to run the till, and at least two people to assist in serving of food. Pack up: clean up kitchen and return all tables and chairs, sweep floors. Jumps Set Up Shetlands Ring: 6 white plastic squares & 6 polls, 3 sets of wings and polls, 4 witch’s hats.

It would be great if our pony club members would collect their unused horse shoes and bring them to Pony Club. A friend of mine is collecting them to make War Memorial Art with and donating the proceeds to the Return Services League for men and women returning from current active duty. I will leave a bucket at Pony Club Rooms on weekend to put them in. Thanks Janine Jordan

Pack Up

The Wandin Seville Community bank branch of the Bendigo Bank has come on board with Lilydale Pony

Club! They have given us a grant that enabled us to buy a dressage ring, this is a very expensive item that,

due to PCAV rule changes has become necessary, that the club could not have otherwise afforded. The

bank will continue to support us in other ways too. Each time a new account is opened by a pony club

member the bank will donate money to us. The amount varies depending on the type of account. More

details in the other attachment with this email.

We ask that where possible our club members support the businesses that

support our club
