🌟 Calliope Hack & Pony Club – May Rally Day for Dolly’s Dream 🌟

What a fantastic day we had at our May Rally Day, proudly supporting Dolly’s Dream and helping raise awareness and funds for such an important cause.

We started the morning with a chilly breeze, but that certainly didn’t stop our riders from having a great day with their horses and ponies!
Our riders rotated through three exciting activities throughout the day:

🐴 Treasure Hunt – Riders explored the grounds on horseback, searching for clues and answering horse-related questions along the way.

🏇 Jumping Arena – Everyone worked at their own pace, building confidence and developing their jumping skills in a supportive environment.

🎯 Obstacle Course – Riders and horses tackled a variety of obstacles, helping build trust, confidence and exposure to new challenges.

To finish off a wonderful day, everyone came together for a BBQ and raffle, raising valuable funds to support Dolly’s Dream and the important work they do promoting kindness and helping prevent bullying.

A great day was had by all, with plenty of smiles, learning, laughter and teamwork throughout the day.

A huge thank you to our major sponsor AESTEC Services for their continued support of our club and community events. We also thank all our volunteers, families and members who helped make the day such a success.

💙 Together we can make a difference. 💙

What a fantastic afternoon at our May Horse N Around! 🐴💚

It was wonderful to see all the kids out enjoying a relaxed afternoon with their horses and ponies, building confidence, practicing their jumping, and simply having fun together. Riders even created their own games and activities, with plenty of laughs and smiles all round!

These afternoons are such a great opportunity for riders to spend quality time with their horses in a supportive and social environment while continuing to grow their skills and confidence.

We would also like to take a moment to thank Gladstone Regional Council for their support through the Local Legends Recognition Fund during National Volunteer Week 2026. Our volunteers help make afternoons like these possible, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they do for our club and community 🌟

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the afternoon so enjoyable!

What a fantastic weekend at Calliope Hack and Pony Club! 🐴✨

We had an incredible few days with our Horse n Around, camp out, and Nikki Ryan Clinic.

A huge thank you to Nikki Ryan for coming out to Calliope and running such a great flatwork and jumping clinic. Everyone took away so much knowledge and had an amazing time learning and improving their skills.

We kicked off the weekend with Horse n Around on Saturday afternoon — a relaxed session where riders could enjoy some free riding time with their horses and ponies. It’s always a great opportunity to build confidence, be social, and share plenty of laughs while learning in a supportive environment.

The evening camp out was just as special, with a shared dinner, games of spotlight, and lots of laughs. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying time together and building friendships in such a relaxed setting.

Bright and early the next morning, everyone was up checking on their horses and ponies before heading straight into some fantastic lessons with Nikki.

It was so lovely to see everyone come together and share their love of horses and ponies over the weekend. 💚

We hope everyone had a wonderful time — we certainly did!
