Okuku Pony Club

We would like to congratulate all of the riders who competed yesterday. We hope you all had a fantastic day! We are pleased to say that, despite the occasional hiccup, the weather stayed beautiful all day and we had everything finished by 4pm — a first for many of us at Pony Club.

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our amazing sponsors. We'll be making another post soon highlighting them so competitors can easily find and support them.

A massive thank you to all of our officials and volunteers who helped make the day a success. Thank you to Brigitte, Euan, Grant, Chris,Giles, Bronwyn, Jill, Sarah, Sophie, Karen, Margaret, Kay, and Shirley for your time, expertise, and support throughout the event.

We would also like to thank all of our members and families who helped behind the scenes before, during, and after the event. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for bearing with us as we continue learning our way around Evo Events. A special thank you to Rachel, who was a tremendous help in the scoring caravan throughout the day.

We will be processing refunds over the next couple of days after taking a small mental reset following a busy but successful event.

Thank you again to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, and supported the day. We couldn't do it without you!
