We’ve had a fantastic few days at the Champs for the eventing!

What a rollercoaster we’ve had!

These guys have supported each other through highs and lows….. we’ve had moonwalks, sat nav errors, a few tears, some pesky poles but the main thing, all three jumped clear xc!! Superstars! 🤩🤩🤩 Round courses that caused plenty of trouble and asked lots of questions. The smiles at the end said it all - so proud of them all and their mighty support teams, who have enjoyed the parties! (And are excited to get home to wash off the dust!)

It’s been a weekend of WINNERS, GRINNERS and SWIMMERS at the Pony Club Championships!

The WINNERS - the Intermediate Mounted Games CHAMPIONS - well done to Anna, Jessica, Bella Anna and Amelia.

The GRINNERS - we have had loads! All our members have enjoyed their weekend, many of whom at their first championship and we can’t forget our supporters! 👏👏

The Junior Games team of James, Harriet, Lils, Bea and Otti had a lovely time.

The SWIMMERS - we had a good gang of tetrathletes competing from Stepping Stones to Open! There were wins, PBs, highs, a few IF ONLYs and a lot of swimming!

Max and Oliver really enjoyed the Stepping Stones, with PBs and a fun time with Northern England team mates.

Our Mixed Junior Team had highs, lows, PBs, IF ONLYs and a few character building moments - they have stuck together and smiled through goggle failures, extra swims and line deviations - IF ONLY. Anna, Lily and Henry battled bravely with smiles to be 4th team in the Mixed section.

Rosie finished a fabulous 10th in the Intermediate Girls having literally flown downhill in the running and WON the Area Intermediate team competition with Zac from York & Ainsty South and Jonny from Sinnington.

Alice had a good weekend in the Open with a lovely 1400 ride and was a member of the 2nd team in the Area Open with Annabelle from the Bedale, Amber from Middleton East and Ella from York & Ainsty South!

ALL including the parents and supporters enjoyed the Tet Party!

🏕️✨ Epworth Camp 2025✨🏕️

What an amazing 3 days! We packed so much in — the ponies were stars and the kids had an absolute blast! 🐴💙

We rode, jumped, worked on rider balance and jazzy flatwork, AND weighed the ponies (big thanks to Georgia Spillers!). Congratulations to Caitlin for guessing Rosie’s weight correctly! 🎉👏.

Our tribes worked brilliantly together — 👏👏👏Grackle, the winning team under the fantastic leadership of Rosie and Lily! 🙌🏆.

We had 6 brave campers make the Leap of Faith, hunted for clues in a hilarious scavenger hunt (still wondering… who stole the ducks?! 🦆🤔), and ran all kinds of races: 3-legged, wheelbarrow, hula hoop, and a new favourite — Pass the Banana! 🍌😂.

To top it all off, we celebrated two birthdays eating lots of cake! 🎂🎈.

So proud of everyone — ponies, kids, instructors, parents and helpers — for making it a camp to remember! Until next time! 💫✨🐴
