Prize Night 2006

Pony Club Prizes Awarded

The annual prize night of the Route Hunt Branch of the Pony Club was held on Friday 27th January at Ballymoney Rugby Club. District Commissioner, Eavan White presided over the proceedings that kicked off with a quiz, which tested knowledge, equestrian and otherwise, of the large gathering of young riders, parents and supporters. Quiz master, Mike Alcorn proved to have the “wisdom of Solomon” and “patience of Job” as he adjudicated on the rate at which shoe laces, pink objects, pictures of horses etc were produced by participants in one of the rounds in a keenly contested competition. This was followed by the prize distribution, which reflected a year of continuous activity at the highest levels as the young riders pitted themselves against the best. The evening was rounded of by an excellent supper and thanks go to all concerned for making the evening such an enjoyable occasion.

SPECIAL AWARDS 2005

These are presented each year at the discretion of the District Commissioner with the advice of instructors within the Club.

The Sam Moore Trophy

Presented for outstanding achievement in a competition outside Northern Ireland, usually, but not exclusively at an event organised by the Pony Club.

Valerie Ann Mc Millan, as a member of a depleted Route Team travelled to the National Novice Championships and was placed second in the senior class.

The Inis Eoghain Award

Presented for a special contribution to the Branch by a Senior Member(s) throughout the

Year.

Two members shared the trophy: - Ailanore Harper and Philippa Laverty. These young Ladies represented the Club at the U.K. Championships, The Tetrathlon Championships and most notably at the Eventing Championships in Sansaw where both girls went clear on the cross-country and finished higher in the competition than and other N. Ireland Competitors and higher than any Club Member has achieved in the past.

The Petuna Perpetual Trophy

Presented for a special contribution to the Branch by an Intermediate member throughout the year.

The winner of this trophy typifies the true commitment of a good Club Member.

Rachel Cochrane was an ever-present member at everything organised by the Club, Training, Rallies, Camp and Competitions. She was a member of the N. Ireland Junior Tetrathlon Squad who represented Area 17 in Yorkshire where she achieved a personal best.

The Cream Cracker Trophy

Presented for a special contribution to the Branch by a Junior member throughout the year.

The winner of this Trophy had the disappointment of finding his pony lame just before the Area Competitions consequently he was unable to ride in any Pony Club events over the summer months. He was entered in Area Dressage and Home Championships yet he attended all activities and even helped out at the Area Trials.

This award went to Joseph Evans.

Finally rosettes were presented to each and every member who represented the Branch in Area Competitions and who had not already received one during the night.
