Inter-Pacific Pony Club Exchange Rally

As the Federal Minister for the Arts and Sport, I am delighted to welcome Pony Club teams from New Zealand, the United States, Canada and Japan to Australia for the Inter-Pacific Pony Club Exchange Rally. Five exceptional riders, selected from Pony Clubs in each nation, will join the Australian team to compete for the Nations Cup Showjumping Championship at Wodonga and take part in a One Day Event in Werribee. These young people personify the spirit of the Pony Club movement and act as an ambassador for the youth of their home country. The Pony Club movement is a worldwide organisation of young people, now established in over 40 countries, with the aim of encouraging young people to ride and to learn to enjoy all kinds of sport connected with horses and riding. Many thousands of volunteers give their time each week to provide instruction in riding and horsemanship and to educate members to properly care for their horses. Events such as this promote the ideals of the Pony Club movement and equestrian sport generally, and provide an opportunity for international friendships and the exchange of ideas. The Federal Government also aims to promote sporting excellence in Australia. The Australian Pony Club Council is an institution doing exactly that—training the most talented young riders to allow them to reach their highest potential. Australian Pony Clubs have an outstanding record of producing riders who progress through to international competition. Early coaching received within Pony Clubs has provided an excellent foundation for our Olympic Equestrian Teams, who have gone on to win back to back gold medals at the last two Olympic Games. The Australian Pony Club Council is to be congratulated for hosting this important event in the equestrian calendar. Thanks and congratulations are also due to the Victorian Pony Club Association for providing the venues and personnel for the events and to the Pony Club families in Victoria hosting the teams and providing the horses on which they will compete. Again, welcome to all the visiting teams, together with their coaches and managers, and best wishes for an enjoyable stay in Australia and a good competition. I look forward to the future success of these young riders.

THE INTER PACIFIC

PONY CLUB EXCHANGE RALLY The Australian Pony Club Council has pleasure in providing some background information on the origins of this international exchange and equestrian competition for members of the Pony Club Movement living in countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. The idea of Inter Pacific Pony Club Exchanges originated from a visit in 1960 of Victorian and New South Wales Pony Club members to the Pebble Beach Pony Club in California. This first "visit" was such a success that the Pony Club Association of Victoria issued an invitation to the United States of America, Canada, New Zealand and all Australian States to participate in an "Exchange Rally" in Victoria in 1961. During this visit the first Inter-Pacific Committee was formed and it was agreed that exchanges should take place every second year. Participating countries around the “rim” of the Pacific ocean to take turns in hosting. Each country to nominate a team of 5 riders between the ages of 17 & 21 years, a Chef d'Equipe and an experienced Coach. To be eligible for nomination, the rider must have achieved a minimum of “B” Certificate Level or better. For a few years Great Britain being the foundation member of the Pony Club Movement was included in the Exchange as a special guest. Great Britain has now signified that they no longer wish to be included. Exchanges have continued and been organised in Canada 1963, U.S.A. 1965 when a team from Britain was invited, New Zealand 1967 when a team from Japan was invited, Australia 1969, Canada 1971, Japan 1973, U.S.A. 1975, New Zealand 1977, Australia 1979, Canada 1981, Japan 1983, Great Britain 1985, Far East & Hong Kong 1987, New Zealand 1989, Australia 1991, Canada 1993, Japan 1995, Hong Kong & Shanghai 1997, USA 1999, New Zealand 2001 and now in Australia in 2003. There were some years when the USA did not take part. The Far East & Hong Kong Team which used to comprise riders from the Philippines, Singapore, and Hong Kong has now been disbanded and all riders now come from Hong Kong. Unfortunately the SARS infection in Hong Kong in 2003 has presented difficulties for their riders and Hong Kong will not be represented at this year’s Exchange. Each Rally takes on its own character through the Host country influence and their substantial contribution to ensure that each and every Team Member has the opportunity to exchange ideas, cultivate friendships and enjoy the Pony Club concept of joining together in the many activities including two main equestrian competitions. Australia is the Host country for the 2003 Exchange Rally and this will be venued in the State of Victoria, where the first real exchange and Inter-Pacific meeting was held in 1961 The aim of these Rallies is certainly not solely about competition, but more importantly to promote the Pony Club Movement and the equestrian sport generally as well as providing an opportunity for International friendships and understanding and the opportunity for an exchange of ideas. Equestrian activities are the common bond between the team members encouraging the promotion of the highest ideals of sportsmanship and friendly competition, with each hosting country in its turn providing opportunities for the visitors to gain some knowledge of the host country's culture and industries and to enjoy their scenic attractions. Each Team member selected to represent their country, is required to be a better than average all-round horseman but also most importantly, someone who personifies the spirit of the Pony Club Movement and who can adequately fill their role as an ambassador for the youth of their Nation and

socially assist the Rally. The Exchange has become a valuable goal for older Pony Clubbers in all the participating countries. In between the competitions, the Pony Club Association of Victoria have prepared a most exciting itinerary for this 2003 Exchange. The teams will travel from Werribee in the south of the State to Wodonga in the north. Along the way they will be treated to a host of exciting visits to places of tourist and cultural interest. During this time the teams will have the opportunity to experience Melbourne city and all the capital has to offer as well as visiting Sovereign Hill, the seat of the early gold rush days. Some accommodation is to be provided by Pony Club families, where our visitors get the opportunity to experience “real” Australian family life. At other times Motel accommodation is provided for the teams. The first competition will be the “Scrambled Teams One Day Event” and consists of the disciplines of Dressage, Cross Country jumping and Showjumping. The teams for this event are made up of a mixture of riders from each Nation combining together as a team. This is a very seriously contested event, but is also a great medium to mix the international representatives and to create an opportunity for lasting friendships. This event will be held at Werribee National Equestrian Centre on Saturday 24th May. The second competition will be held at the Wodonga Exhibition Centre in the north of Victoria on Sunday, 1st June. This is a very exciting and highly prized showjumping event when teams from each country compete in friendly competition under the banner of their own country for the Nations Cup Showjumping Championship. For the first time, in 2001 Japan won this event and is bringing a team to Australia which will seriously compete to retain this “back to back” honour. The horses for each competition will be loaned by Pony Club members from the Pony Club Association of Victoria. Horses for each event are divided into teams of equal ability by the host State and Team coaches draw for their horses by ballot. It is then the responsibility of the Coach to allocate a suitable rider to each horse. Team members are given some time to become familiar with their mount and practice prior to each event, but this is strictly supervised. This Exchange has become the goal for which all Pony Club members aim, hoping to attain selection. It is truly a most rewarding exercise with many friendships being made and international barriers bridged, new cultures experienced, all of which must greatly benefit future international relations and the Equestrian sport in all participating countries. Welcome to Australia to all visiting Teams and best wishes for an enjoyable Rally and good competition. Roma Brideoake National Executive Director
