Early Christmas for pony club

ARARAT Pony Club will soon be the envy of clubs across Victoria with funding announced this week to construct a year-round covered equine arena.
Ararat Rural City Council in partnership with Ararat Pony Club have secured close to $1.5 million in funding from the Australian Government’s Play Our Way Grants Program.
The program aims to provide greater opportunities for women and girls to access, participate and remain involved in sport and physical activity.
The $1.5 million funding will support the construction of a covered equine arena, complete with lighting, to provide a climate-controlled riding space that is protected from rain and sunlight.
