Tradition is paramount to hacking.
'Moving with the times' should be approached with a kind voice and soft hand.

They are not ready for a big striding 12.2hh pony. Also a leading rein pony should be trained for it's particular purpose - to carry a small child in his/her introduction to the show ring. It should not be the 'Champion Open Pony with an under 8 rider put on top'. Please keep the leading rein class for the beginning showies.

has this change been made to accommodate the riding pony? cant other breeds be given the chance to excell as well

With email (using simple voting keys), it is so easy to get an undertanding of the views everyone holds on topics before decisions are made and then perhaps this would assist the sport moving forward for the better of all. This petition is an example of members becoming involved in the debate.

This would happen as the Australian Miniature Ponies and Shetlands would get pushed out as they would be replaced by bigger ponies. I thought this competition was about the kids and their SAFETY.

The 12.2 hh pony is a bigger moving pony in many cases, and is traditionally a first ridden pony. Safety for the young riders is also an issue, and for these reasons it should remain 12 hh.

They will no longer be able to ride these bigger ponies they will only be passengers and this in itself becomes dangerous. I am onto my last child in the lead rein having had all four compete successfully at State level.
