Pony club in Manx Lottery cash boost

The Isle of Man Pony Club is the latest local organisation to receive a cash boost from the Manx Lottery Trust.

Club members say they are "jumping for joy" after being chosen for Community Award funding. 

It comes following its recent move from its old site in Santon to a new venue at Ballacorey Equestrian in Andreas.

£8,000 has been used towards the cost of timber and to construct fences for the club’s new cross-country course. 

A further £7,650 will be used to purchase additional equipment for the safety and comfort of competitors, including a portable toilet, generator, and some walkie-talkie radios.

District Commissioner at Isle of Man Pony Club, Alice Corrin said: ‘Our new venue in the north of the Island is great, we just needed a little help to make it fit for purpose and develop the cross-country course for our members as the old fences had to be moved and replaced".
