Rally Success!

The Stables Equestrian Center and Canterbury Pony Club successfully hosted a regional dressage rally on Saturday, August 2 in Rochester, MN!  Seven teams from the region participated in the one day rally; including one horsemasters team!

Perfect weather and a fantastic facility made for an exceptional rally experience!  For many competitors this was their first rally and for others it wasn't their first but had been many years since their last rally.

A HUGE thank you goes out to Eliese of The Stables Equestrian Center and Shelley of Canterbury Pony Club for their outstanding organization!  Thank you to Linda S. for overseeing all of the rally horse management and thank you to the many, many parents who volunteered in all
aspects of the rally.

"Sparx" -- Dressage Rally team from Two Rivers Pony Club

 

 

In addition to ribbons for horse management and riding, prizes were given out for some fun categories.  Competitors won prizes for being the oldest pony club member, having the horse with the longest tail or most spots, being the newest pony club member or being the first team to submit their registration!

 

 

The next rally opportunity for many regional members is the upcoming Qualifying Eventing Rally over Labor Day weekend.  This rally is being held in conjunction with the Steepleview Horse Trials and Northern Lakes Region members can participate in the rally at NO ADDITIONAL COST other than registration for the horse trial.  See the NLR website for more information.
