​SPORTSMANSHIP SHIELDS: A shield for 'Sportsmanship' will be awarded to one child in each ride. This award recognises the child who is a great sport, who shows great respect for their Instructor and indeed all officials as well as their peers. The child who tries their best across a range of disciplines regardless of the outcome, who is magnanimous in victory and gracious in defeat as well as showing camaraderie and support for fellow competitors. These shields were kindly sponsored by past members and friends of the Pony Club with the aim of seeing the Pony Club going from strength to strength by fostering the above qualities in today's members. It is a great honour for any child to be awarded this shield.
