Horsepower and horsemanship will be on full display on Saturday 2 August as the Helderberg Pony Club hosts its final fundraising show of the year at Firlands Equestrian Estate in Gordon’s Bay. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectators are in for a treat with a thrilling day of showjumping and dressage, all in support of the club’s aspiring young riders.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda Holtrop of the Helderberg Pony Club expressed her excitement for the upcoming event. “People can expect a lot of fun!” she exclaimed. “Come out and support the young and upcoming riders, as well as those who simply ride for the sheer joy of it.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This much-anticipated show serves as a crucial fundraiser for the club. “This will be our last fundraiser show for the year,” Holtrop explained. “However, we will be back next year with even more shows.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact of these fundraising efforts is already evident. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With our last show, we raised enough funds to be able to send a few of our members for a camp in which they are able to achieve the next level within the South African Pony Club achievements,” Holtrop proudly shared.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proceeds from the upcoming show will be dedicated to an equally vital cause: enabling Helderberg Pony Club members to participate in the Annual Interbranch Competition. This prestigious event sees all pony clubs from across the Western Cape converge to compete against each other, offering a fantastic opportunity for young equestrians to test their skills and camaraderie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We also do these shows to create awareness regarding the Helderberg Pony Club to allow more people and children to join and learn about animals, mainly horses, and what it takes to care for them and not just ride,” she said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
