BEALIBA Pony Club once again provided the equestrian highlights at the Rheola Charity Carnival.
Riders took part in freshman’s showjumping and handy mount events, with ribbons for those with clear rounds.
Showjumping was a standout, with participants encouraged by good numbers of spectators.
Riders, too, were vocal in encouraging their mounts as they progressed around the course.
Horses and riders had to clear heights ranging from 30cm to 90cm during the day.
The handy mount event saw riders moving through 10 different obstacles that test a pony’s obedience and quietness, with a time limit to complete the course.
