Sligo youngsters rally up some fun!

SLIGO Hunt Pony Club members met recently for their annual pre-Christmas Fancy Dress Rally before the latest lockdown kicked in. This is always a highlight in the club’s calendar and is a great way to end the year.

Tinsel-covered ponies carried Rudolphs and elves over a course of fences to claim their rosettes and selection box prizes. Then there was the popular challenge of ‘Chase me Charlie’, a knockout competition where youngsters took turns to jump a fence which gradually got higher. There were some surprise winners as the smallest pony continued to the end!

Excitement

The senior members then had their turn. First, the excitement of the jump-off over a one-metre course followed by their ‘Chase me Charlie’ challenge which reached a staggering 1.40m in height! The club would like to thank their members, families, instructors and venues for all their support during such a challenging year in 2020 and look forward to activities in 2021.
