July Rally Day Our covid/school holiday/wet weather affected rally day was a small one - a small brave group of three riders attended and we welcomed two of those as new members. We also welcomed out Pony Club first timer - Digger the standardbred who has recently arrived to our member's house from Nsw Harness Rehoming! We did flat work and went through some basics and safety - learning lunge, to mount and dismount. We also did some more troop formation riding - working on 10m circles and figure eights. Following this we rode in pairs and had to use communication to keep in line and turn at the same time and walk back on either side of the arena. Unfortunately the rain came in after lunch so it wasn't very comfortable for riders to continue. Our riders elected to call if a day! Just in time for rain! 06/06/2021
June Rally Day 12 riders and many helpers made a very fun day yesterday! Welcome to our new members. We started the day in our Arena we have worked so hard on fencing. A bit of transition work and group work to prepare for troop drill. Followed by a few obstacle races including the jacket race. Racing to one end, dismounting and putting your jacket on, mounting and racing back. How fun it was! 01/05/2021
May Rally Day May Rally Day - a total of 8 riders at the rally day for May! Our day started with group flat work, trot transitions and extension, spacing trot poles correctly for each type of horse and using them to train extension and collection. This was followed with some ground work including yielding the quarters, backing up and bending at the neck (side to side) and poll bend from the ground. We stopped for a hearty healthy home cooked lunch by our favourite chef and a good chat! Our second session of afternoon games included a variation of What's The Time Mr Wolf, Red Light Green Light, and Horse Soccer. A big thank you to all our helpers who set up, we can't run this club without you! A huge thank you to Damian for instructing, our chef Sam for the delicious lunch and Donna for all she does! Thanks also goes to Liberty for being our ace photographer! 17/04/2021

March Rally Day Tarago Pony Club held their second rally day at the recreation area and had a blast! We had two groups of riders and two instructors with a lot of new faces. Both groups participated in bending activities that taught rhythm and pacing yourself. We again had a go at bending poles, followed by flags. We moved on to a figure eight course of trotting and changing directions. Then we tested our skill at an obstacle course which included a tarp, jumps, bending around obstacles whilst picking up and moving objects, and travelling through a tight lane way and bend. All participants enjoyed the lessons as well as the delicious lunch! Thanks to all whom helped set up and pack up, to our instructors, to our committee and to our lunch makers!

February Rally Day! On the 6th of February 2021, the Tarago Pony Club held their very first mounted rally day since they initiated re-establishing the club in 2019. A total of six children riders and two adult riders attended the rally day, participating in bending exercises. Riders rode through bending poles, around barrels in a left and right barrel race pattern, and played snakes and ladders over trotting poles. Riders and helpers joined for a bbq lunch half way through the day and finished off the activities with a game of horse ball! The next rally day will be held on the 6th of March 2021, from 10am to 3pm at the Tarago recreation area. 30/01/2021
