Pony club

Both Ohakune and Raetihi branches of the Waimarino Pony Club made the most of the fine weather over the August school holidays by holding mounted rallies, the earliest start for many seasons. Interest in pony club is very strong in the Waimarino and there are several members starting the season on new ponies. Cindy Langdon has sold Alcazar to the Waitamata Rodney area and he will be missed as will Cindy s involvement. 12 • Ruapehu Bulletin 21 J

Only two and a half points separated the first three teams. The results were: 1st Taumarunui, 2nd Ohakune, 3rd Raetihi and 4th Kaitieke. Raetihi Branch was presented with the King Country area Roke Trophy at the quiz. The trophy is for points gained at area, club and branch competitions throughout the season.
