According to Oberon Pony Club President Danielle Doff, the day was a success with a great number of competitors.
"It was fantastic, we had good weather for that day," Doff said.
"We had 49 kids attend and compete for all our amazing prizes that we got sponsored from a lot of local suppliers, which was awesome."
Competitors took part in hacking, showjumping, dressage, a shootout event and a stockman's challenge.
"We had the shootout event, which was the top five fastest for the flag race, mug race and the barrel race and they all competed, everyone had a great time," Ms Doff said
"We also did a stockman's challenge, which all the kids loved.
"Everyone was cracking a whip going through gates, poles and all these different obstacles, which they all had a fun time doing."
According to Doff, the spectators enjoyed the day's events, which saw competitors travel from near and far to take part.
"We do it every year and we get kids from all over. From Orange, Cudal, Carcoar, Lithgow," Doff said.
