All five grandchildren competed on their ponies throughout the year.

Laine at the age of three years old, being the youngest, started his riding at Bribbaree Show where he took out first prize in the costume class.

Marissa, Sophie, Isabella, Thomas and Laine competed at many shows and gymkhanas around the district for their respective pony clubs.

Marissa and Laine are members of Bribbaree Pony Club and Sophie, Isabella and Thomas Granger are members of Young.

Just recently at the Christmas party rallies and awards days the children were all awarded trophies.

At Bribbaree, Marissa was awarded the Hackney Cup for highest point score for 2014, this being very special for Marissa's mum and dad because dad won it for five years when he was a member of the club.

At Young Pony Club awards Isabella and Thomas Granger both received encouragement trophies for their respective ages.

Sophie Granger was awarded the most improved rider and rally attendance in her age group for 2014.

Well done kids, you have done a great job over the year.
