INGRID Gould is a double champion after Pony Club Victoria state titles at the weekend.
The Wedderburn youngster won the pairs ribbon from 19 other riders and teamed with Neve Nisbet, also of Wedderburn, and Nicole Catto and Ella Parker to take out the musical ride.
And for their Bealiba Pony Club district commissioner Faye Barnett, the weekend results showed the work and progress of the small club formed in 1998 in its quest for success against larger clubs.
“Owning a horse is expensive, fuel to travel to events is doubly expensive. The girls and their families worked so hard to bring home the championships.”
There was also success for club members Lillian and Violet Stephenson, Charli Catto and Zeva Missen who were fourth after a countback in the musical ride.
Faye said club riders had previously won the musical ride in 2007 and 2010.
