Pony Club Resumes After Pandemic Hiatus

OVS Equestrians participated in their first Pony Club rally in two years in March during an event in Rancho Palos Verdes. The four participating riders are all new to Pony Club so the “horseless rally” was a great learning experience. A rally requires the team to navigate without help from an adult, except for warming up prior to mounted competition. “It’s a complicated affair with an extensive list of equipment and rules,” Equestrian Director Stephanie Gustafson said. “Horse care is taken very seriously at all times, rather than the focus being on the riding as it is in many competition venues.”

Congratulations to our hardworking OVS team.
