Update - April 2021

                                2021 NZPCA Championship is one week away with many
horses and riders making their way south. Unfortunately, COVID has really affected our event
and we only have 41 championship entries and only 7 out of 15 Areas represented. Well, the
show must go on and along with the 13 non championship entries we plan to make it an event
not to forget.

Robbie Maclean has been back in Cromwell since the 9th April to complete construction of the
course. Thank you to our Otago Southland Pony Club members and supporters who again
assisting with working bees. Here is a sneak peak of some of his handy work. We can’t wait to
see the XC dressed and water in the water jump.
