Barwon Heads & District Pony Club moves forward with rejuvenation works

A GOFUNDME started in October last year by the Barwon Heads and District Pony Club has allowed them to complete the first upgrade in their rejuvenation project.

The goal of the fundraiser was to raise $6,000 to be put towards upgrading facilities around the club and breathing new life into equipment.

One of the main projects on the list was to upgrade to a proper portable size dressage arena, a purchase the club has been able to complete.

The new dressage arena replaces the club’s previous sandy and uneven arena and will allow kids and horses to experience riding in a space similar to what they will see in a competition.

Run solely by volunteers, the club raised close to their target amount, calling on past members and those in the community to donate.

Attention of the club and the GoFundMe will now turn to the second main project; getting new jumps built to meet all safety standards.

The existing cross-country jumps have been on the grounds for years, but have fallen into a state of disrepair with many needing upgrades to meet safety specifications.

The GoFundMe is still open for people to donate to at gofundme.com/f/barwon-heads-district-pony-club-project-revitalise
