Dodson & Horrell has joined forces with The Pony Club ahead of the summer holidays, supplying prizes for members and branches who are taking part in the Great Pony Club Hacking Challenge.
Launched in 2021, the Great Pony Club Hacking Challenge is an opportunity for all members to venture out of the arena and into the British countryside, tracking distances along the way to hit milestones.
This year Dodson & Horrell has supplied prizes for each of the milestone riders reach, increasing in value as the miles accumulate. Whether riders want to improve their horse or pony’s fitness levels by steadily increasing their hacking miles or simply want to see more of their local bridlepaths and scenery, the prizes start with a £2 feed voucher for 25 miles completed all the way up to a D&H branded jacket for 1,000 miles. Hacking is a great tool to improve confidence, balance and stamina for all riders.
Participants sign up to the challenge on The Pony Club website, track the distances they have ridden and then submit the total, all miles are tallied up and members will receive the relevant Dodson & Horrell prize and certificate from The Pony Club. All existing sign ups to the challenge and any new sign ups in the first fortnight of July will be entered into a prize draw to win a D&H Goody Bag and £25 feed voucher.
“The Great Pony Club Hacking Challenge provides the perfect incentive for riders old and young and what better time to start than for the summer holidays, it’s perfect preparation for Pony Club camp too!” commented Lucy Scott, Marketing Manager at Dodson & Horrell.
Marcus Capel, Chief Executive of The Pony Club responded “I am excited for The Pony Club to be working in partnership with Dodson & Horrell to support and encourage our members to get and about with their horses and ponies. There are some great prizes on offer and I look forward to hearing of the fun and adventures had as the miles are clocked up.”
