Success for riders and horses of the Margaret River Horse and Pony Club (MRHPC) is continuing on into 2024.
At the recent South West Zone Gymkhana held at the Capel Equestrian Centre, MRHPC won both the Championship and Handicap Trophies.
A team of nine club members and their horses competed against representatives from Bunbury, Busselton, Capel, Collie and Wellington Pony Clubs.
Riders participated in Show horse and rider, Show jumping (heights from 45cm to 110cm) and mounted games, collecting points from events towards individual and team results.

A variety of rider abilities participated, from led rein juniors (helped along by Mum or Dad) to young adults 20 years and over.
