The Valley

Ride To Time is an educational program designed to train Pony Club riders on how to safely ride their horse at a given pace. Pony Club Victoria riders competed at numerous racecourses across the state including Cranbourne, Warrnambool, Yarra Glen, Geelong, Donald, Pakenham and Benalla with the aim of trialling as close to the optimum time as possible with the ultimate aim to qualify as one of 20 riders to compete at the State Championships at Moonee Valley Racecourse on September 3. The event has two sections Open and Maiden. Open riders complete 1000m in the optimum time of 109 seconds. Maiden riders complete 1000m in 120 seconds. The Ride To Time program provides riders with an opportunity to connect to the racing industry, learn track riding skills and have a go at something new and different. For the 20 lucky riders who compete at the State Championship event at Moonee Valley, the day provides them with an experience like no other and many riders will tell you it was their most memorable experience in their pony club journey. Pony Club Victoria would like to thank the 2022 Zone Ride To Time Coaches; Sharron Lowther, Misty-Jane Vlietman-Paris, Tracey Gorick, Kim Ward, Nicole Don, Donna Stebbins, Emily McDonald, Karen Martin and our State Coach Jo Martin for their dedication and commitment to the program.
