STAFF COLLEGE & SANDHURST HUNT PONY CLUB
Eventing
Eventing gives Pony Club Members a competition which
needs courage, determination
and all-round riding ability. Riders gain a deeper understanding of the
different
disciplines open to them. Its main aim is to encourage a higher standard
of riding
throughout the Pony Club and to give the young a greater interest in
riding as both a
sport and as a recreational activity.
The sport could be termed an "equestrian triathlon". It involves working
with your
pony/horse both on the flat and over jumps. Today, the sport is most
known for its
cross-country phase where horse and rider gallop over an outside course
of solid
obstacles which the horse has never seen before.
If you are interested in
competing for our pony club then please contact
