PCAWA Pony Club Festival The popular Pony Club Festival is an action packed biennial event that attracts riders of all ages from all over the state. The 2013 PCAWA Festival was held in March at the State Equestrian Centre. The program has so much to offer that it is held over two days so riders can fit in as much as possible. With the program offering events such as hacking, rider classes, bareback classes, jumping, dressage, games and fancy dress, riders have plenty of events to choose from and, for many little riders, the Festival gives a taste of their first state event. This year included two extra specialty events – a Jackpot Barrel race to music which was hugely popular with riders and spectators and even attracted a few dismounted barrel racers trying their luck on foot! The Saturday evening saw the PCAWA Riders Advisory Panel hold a disco, which had little ones grooving the night away until dragged home to bed by mothers. This year’s Festival was hugely successful and everyone looks forward to the next Festival in two year’s time. Top left: Elizabeth Millet dressed as a Hawaiian. Photo courtesy Julie Millet.
