We are a small club who likes to offer its members an insight into all the various disciplines and avenues of the equestrian world. As such we often regularly organise for special guests to come along to our rally days to tutor our members or provide them with a demonstration/presentation in their specialty area. We believe this is a great way for our members to gain more understanding, in a hands-on way, of all the varying equestrian opportunities available to them.
Some of the special guests who have recently visited our club are…
Olympus Feeds Presentation – how to meet your horses’ nutritional requirements
Equine Body Therapy - how to minimise muscle, tendon, ligament restriction and strains
Victoria Police Mounted Division – talk and presentation about the training of the horses etc.
Polocrosse Victoria – hands-on presentation about the sport of Polocrosse
Main & Co. Touch – how to on Equine Massage
Ranvet – Equine Nutrition
Country Fire Authority – how to prepare your property in case of fire
Harness Racing Victoria – demonstration on the sport of Harness Racing
Master Saddle Fitter – what to look for to make sure your horses saddle fits correctly for their comfort
Equine Care Clinic – how to treat and dress wounds, identify minor ailments and knowing when to call the vet.
Mt Aitken Equestrian – learning about “all things competition”
We also regularly engage the services of “specialist” instructors to give our members that “little bit extra” in the various disciplines offered at regular Pony Club rallies.
As well as the above, once a year (usually our May Rally) we have an equine dentist visit. This gives our members an opportunity to have their horses’ teeth done, and ensures their horses’ dental needs are kept up-to-date without having to remember to organise it.
