🏇 RAISING THE BAR — JUMP BETTER BEFORE YOU JUMP HIGHER 🏇
We’re excited to launch Raising the Bar, a new Pony Club NSW showjumping education series focused on helping riders develop the skills they need before simply moving the fences higher.

Showjumping isn’t just about height.
It’s about learning to:
🐴 Ride a balanced, consistent rhythm
👀 Read and understand a course
📏 Find the right lines and distances
🏇 Develop an effective jumping position
🎯 Improve accuracy, straightness and control
🧠 Make good decisions around a course
💪 Build confidence through correct technique
✅ Know when you and your horse are genuinely ready to move up

Over the coming months, Our Raising the Bar series will share practical exercises, coaching tips and training ideas that riders can work on at home, at rallies and during lessons.

Because sometimes the biggest improvement doesn’t come from putting the rail up another hole.

It comes from riding the same height better.

🌟 Better technique. Better decisions. Better rounds. More Wins. Then raise the bar.

Unfortunately due to the recent rain & the impact to our grounds, we will have to postpone tomorrow’s Rally Day. Keep an eye out for an email early in the week for more information on our next date.

13/06/2026

We’re pleased to advise that, despite the rain we’ve had this week, Rally Day is going ahead!

As always, we’ll keep an eye on conditions throughout the day and may need to be a little flexible with activities depending on how the grounds hold up. Either way, we’re looking forward to a fun day with our riders and horses.

Arrival: 9:30am
Start Time: 10:00am

A delicious BBQ lunch featuring chicken kebabs will be available, so please remember to bring some cash.

With the current forecast, it would also be a good idea to pack a rain jacket and come prepared for all weather conditions.

To assist with catering and planning, could you please reply to this post as soon as possible to let us know if you’ll be attending, if you haven't already?

If we get more rain overnight, please check your emails in the morning for an update.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday for another enjoyable Rally Day.
