Young Showground’s New All-Weather Arena Gets Tick Of Approval

Members of the Young Pony Club recently showed off their equestrian skills in the new undercover facilities at the Young Showground.

After over $550,000 in works funded through the Stronger Country Communities Fund, the showground can now be enjoyed all year round.

Member for Cootamundra, Steph Cooke was present when the Club showcased their skills.

“It is fantastic to see the new arena already in use, providing a safer environment for riders with varying degrees of experience, including our local Riding for the Disabled program,” Ms Cooke said.

“It allows all involved in equine activities, including many children, to train in confidence and build their skillset regardless of the weather.”

“The new arena also adds to the comfort of volunteers, supporters and the animals involved in making these activities such a great success.”

Ms Cooke said further works were also planned at the site, including the completion of staged improvements to the stables.

“It is hoped this project will support user groups to attract new members and other equine activities and events to town, which in turn brings about a welcome economic boost for local businesses.”

The undercover training area and stables were made possible through two rounds of funding secured through two rounds of the Stronger Country Communities Fund.
