Thrills & Spills

Part of riding is accepting that it doesn’t always go to plan… and these days, with the emergence of smart phones meaning there is nearly always a camera/video to hand we manage to capture a lot more of them than in days gone by

Pony Club riders in particular are taught from a young age that falling off your pony does not mean you give up, and tend to show remarkable resilience and determination.

This page showcases some of our members over the years in some unplanned dismounts and ‘uh oh’ moments at our rallies and events…

Members – if you have any amusing pictures of yourselves please do send them to me
