Comments about the December event:
May I say a big thank you to all the organisers and volunteers for this weekend's competition. I can only begin to imagine the amount of work that is required to put on such a successful event and you did a brilliant job, even down to fixing the weather! ... Thanks again for a superb event. You did a fantastic job.

I would like to thank the three-day-event organisers for getting us involved with the Planet Clean pony club teams derby. It was a really fun event and it was good to see such strong support with 20 or so teams contesting the event. It seemed to run fairly smoothly and all credit to the team for getting younger riders involved. I know Cambridge is keen to come back again next year!
It certainly is a great venue and a really worthwhile event. The
course, although small in size, caught out its fair share of riders
and encouraged bold riding. Please don't make too many changes to that
format as then it becomes just a mad gallop around. The different
fences had mounts really taking a good look so they generally jumped
carefully.
-Kirsten Richards, Cambridge Pony Club.
Big congrats to all who contributed to staging such a fantastic event!

Many thanks for helping organise such a fabulous comp at Puhinui!We had a great time and I wanted to say how much fun it was. Loved the cross country ... what a beautiful flowing course - and from a rider's point of view everything seemed very well organised, thanks to all the dedicated people who worked so hard to make it all run smoothly. As an amateur rider it is great to have the chance to compete in an event like this, and I love the changes that have been made to the Puhinui event format, which have made it more accessible to riders like myself.

Thanks for a lovely day out, we really enjoyed your hospitality. I must say that you had the most helpful friendly stewards etc that I have seen at any event! They were delightful to deal with.

The kids had a great time last week-end riding. Well done. I don't know how you manage to organise such a huge event.

A great Event. Thank you very much. We did appreciate the opportunity to be part of it all. We were impressed with your handling of your work load, and the spectacle you presented for the competitors and for the public's enjoyment. We're sure that The Event will continue to grow over the coming years.
