The grounds looked great after a working bee on the Friday evening before where the parents braved the stormy weather to prepare the pony club grounds for the gymkhana.

Approximately 50 riders attended the day of fun. Riders came from Oberon and travelled from Bathurst, Lithgow, Molong and Rylstone-Kandos to attend.

Thanks go to the judges and all the helpers on the day who helped make the gymkhana such a success.
