Hi BHPC riders,

I have attached the August 2026 newsletter to keep you informed about Pony Club activities. There is information about our July and August musters, BHPC Combined Training event, upcoming BHPC Bush Dance, the interclub Goodwill gymkhana and other activities. I welcome your photos and stories of your equestrian activities throughout the year to include in the newsletter.

August Muster: Sunday 30 August – Formal gymkhana – kindly sponsored by Brookfield Veterinary Surgery

9 am Start – 3 pm Finish (approximately) – I hope you are all excited about riding at our Formal Ribbon Day gymkhana at the August muster!! Riders come in our club formal uniform, horses are plaited for this gymkhana. We will start with a line-up on the Showgrounds at 9 am before breaking into groups for the different events. Adult riders are encouraged to compete in their adult group at the gymkhana, there will also be an adult lesson before this muster at 8 am. The newsletter provides information about the events at the gymkhana.

All riders, please let Sandy know if you are coming or not coming to the muster by 5 pm Monday 24 August – email chiefinstructor@brookfieldponyclub.org.au or text 0400 952 002. This is important to allow rider groups and instructors to be organised. A timetable and information for lunch will be provided in the week before the muster.

Interclub Goodwill Gymkhana – Saturday 12 September – this year Moggill Pony Club is hosting the annual Goodwill Sporting Gymkhana between local pony clubs on Saturday 12 September. It would be great to have lots of our riders and supporters along for the event. Nominations will be via nominate.com.au. More details in the newsletter.

Looking forward to seeing you at the August Formal gymkhana.

Kind regards

Sandy Pollitt
