West Tennessee Pony Club (WTPC) hosts its annual fundraising show Friday, September 26 and Saturday, September 27 at the Germantown Charity Horse Show Arena. Profits from the show go to fund many of the activities of WTPC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, youth equestrian program. The show is also part of the 2014 Schooling Show Series, affiliated with MegFord Horse Shows, Hunters Edge, and Oak View Stables shows.
Entertaining Friday night fun classes include Pairs classes and the ever popular Ride-a-Buck – a winner-takes-all competition in which riders must go through various drills bareback while keeping dollar bills tucked between calf and horse. The Friday night event will also feature music, gorgeous ribbons and great prizes. The fun starts Friday night at 6:00 p.m. under the lights in the “bowl.” Come out and enjoy the show!
“You do not have to be a part of Pony Club to participate; we want everyone to come out and earn points, ribbons, and prizes,” urges Pony Club parent Chip Carruthers.
On Saturday, hunter classes start at 8:00 a.m. and the jumper classes start in the afternoon in the bowl around 2:30 p.m. There are classes for all levels of riders.
Following this year’s show, jumps built by Fuzzy Mayo will be for sale. “Jumps by Fuzzy, Inc” is a professional builder who provides jumps for major equestrian events, such as Rolex and the 2010 World Equestrian Games. Stop by the show office for pricing.
Corporate businesses and others who want to be part of the WTPC Hunter Jumper Show through sponsorships should contact Page Slaughter at 901-340-0626. Sponsorships may be prizes, monetary support, advertisement, providing products or services, or volunteering. It’s never too late to become a part of this acknowledged Mid-South tradition! Support your local Pony Club chapter, which is part of the internationally recognized U.S. Pony Club.
