Dunboy Gymkana

There is a very exciting time ahead for young local riders with Caroline Minnaar's Polocrosse Camp from 8th to 12th December and the Dunboy Gymkhana on Saturday 13th December

Caroline’s Camp is an annual affair and is always fully booked. The Camp covers all aspects of polocrosse with confidence on horse-back as the central theme. Many of her pupils go on to do well in polocrosse and a number will be involved in international age-group tests next year.

This is a wonderful way to start the school holidays with the gymkhana on Saturday where they can display their skills.Many older residents will be delighted to see the return of gymkhana to the area. In the past there were regular gymkhanas at Greytown, Rietvlei, Kranskop, Came and Noodsberg. This is a first for Dunboy and will be organized by the Umvoti Polocrosse Club. They will cater for Lead Rein to Open and will include all the usual gymkhana events. There will be limited catering and, with good weather, this promises to be an exciting day.Past gymkhanas included some military events and some equipment, swords and lances, must still be available, probably collecting dust in someone’s garage. Should anyone be aware of the whereabouts of military gymkhana equipment, please let any polocrosse club member know and, who knows, military events may be included in future gymkhanas.
