  Mother Nature provided beautiful weather for the pony clubbers on Saturday, August 9th.  The Big Walnut Creek Pony Club hosted the Hartland Region USPC D-Rally.  D-rally is an eventing rally (dressage, stadium jumping and cross-country jumping) for our beginner pony clubbers.  The D1 level participants rode USDF intro A dressage test, and jumped ground poles in stadium and cross-country.  The D2 level participants rode USEF Beginner Novice A, and jumps/obstacles up to 19" high and 1' wide.  The D3's rode USEF Beginner Novice B, and jumps/ obstacles up to 2'6" high, and 2'6" wide.  As a pony club rally, the participants were also judged on horse management.  This was the first rally for many of the participants.  Everyone did a wonderful job!  We wish to thank all of our pony clubbers, parents, and volunteers for a job well done!
