LAPACC English Day!

The last half of 2024 flew by.

We had a soft opening of Equus International Pony Play Weekend the beginning of July to see how the event would play out in the new Pony Track and Play Arena. It was brilliant and we plan on a repeat October 10 to October 14 in 2025.

August was unbearably hot and we cancelled Western Day.

Puppy Palooza was out of this world wonderful. We had so many contestants! Yay! It was awesome to watch all the pups, cats, critters play and express themselves and have fun.

The Fox Hunt was cancelled because the Forest Ranger Service is repairing the roads and cancelled our reservation for Rose Valley Campground.

We reformatted English Day into The Queen’s Cup Day and had held the three remaining events all on one day. Huzzah! And we threw in an Advanced Agility Course for the Pups and Critters. Everyone had a grand time.

Our Holiday Party was beautiful in Zebra pattern of black and silver. Kev Pony was gifted a Leather Vest for his Outstanding Service to the Club this year. Goddess V, Oscar, and Lexi received Leather Overnight duffle Bags for their Outstanding Service to the Club this year.

It was a fine year to build on. We look forward to 2025!

The Queen’s Cup is a Prize for a Pony, a fabulous opportunity and game for Ponies to play each year. It is a HIGH Point Ribbon Contest. Each event shall have at minimum one Pony race/event that The Queen’s Cup ribbons are awarded for. This will be a draft horse game, derby race, long distance cart race, western event (trail race) and English (dressage and Obstacle Course – Blindfolded). Each event has its own type of race/event, and is clearly announced as The Queen’s Cup Race/Event. To earn the most ribbon points is to be the best overall Pony in each discipline.

The Queen’s Cup is a lovely trophy and a cash award of $1000.00.
