Glen Innes Pony Club chief instructor Julie Donnelly said riders and horses will have the chance to warm up with dressage, ring craft and stock horse activities.
“We’ve got Jackie coming to do the jumping instruction,” Mrs Donnelly said.
“Deanna Williamson coming to do the dressage and Belinda Williamson coming to do the stock horse.
Ms Donnelly and deputy chief instructor Alison Spencer will be there to organise the ring craft.
“We should have about 20 kids for the day,” she said.
“We usually break over the winter months because it is a bit cold.
“It’s now time to get all the horses back in, they will be starting to lose their hair and be ready to go again.
“It’s just mainly to get us back into pony club mode so we can flow into competitions.”
And they are just around the corner.
