TROT along to Smythesdale and District Pony Club on Sunday, 15 March from 10am to 3pm to discover their open day.<\/p>\n

Member, Sarah Hiller said the team will be accessible to answer queries, give club information and offer viewings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is that prospective members or anyone interested in pony club can come along, have a look, see the kids having their lessons and what a normal rally day is like,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a chance to meet the members. We got the kids to do rider profiles so our members are recognisable. Even if people don\u2019t have a pony but want to see what people do at the club, they\u2019re welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Hiller said pony club is a social space where children can spend a whole day in the fresh air alongside human and furry buddies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great chance for them to make friends, learn about their ponies, their riding, and the instructors help inspire them. The kids help each other and boost each other up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take children from as young as three and our oldest member is between 24 and 26,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A gear market will give horse lovers the opportunity to sell any equipment they may have lying around at home, whether that be saddles, boots, blankets or general riding gear.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s always advertising excess gear that they\u2019ve got. They can sell it in the one spot, check out everyone else\u2019s gear and they might be interested in pony club,\u201d Ms Hiller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a chance to target a different group of people who might not normally think about coming along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horse welfare group, Project Hope will have a stall on site as beneficiaries of fundraising by Smythesdale and District Pony Club.<\/p>\n
