Proudly Hosted by Dalby & District Pony & Hack Club

It is with great pleasure that, on behalf of Dalby & District Pony & Hack Club and the Organising Committee, we
extend an invitation to all competitors, families & friends to join us at Dalby Show Grounds in April for the 2022
PCQ State Jumping Equitation and Showjumping Championships.

Dalby Show Grounds are situated in the Western Downs region located just an hour’s drive from Toowoomba
and 2.5 hours from Brisbane. We hope if you are coming to compete, you can stay a few days and enjoy our
town and surrounding areas. We have excellent facilities at Dalby incorporating an indoor arena, large grass
arenas, stables, yards, and plentiful camping areas.

These events would not be possible without the amazing support of our volunteers and sponsors. We thank you
in advance for all your valuable support.

We look forward to offering a warm welcome to everyone in April 2022. Dalby Pony Club would like to wish all
our competitors a safe journey and look forward to seeing everyone. Good luck to all riders.

Yours sincerely,

,Angela Reed
President
Dalby & District Pony & Hack Club
