MIDDLEBURG, Va-Given a field full of ponies
and barrel full of anxious mothers, 10 times out
Of 10 there will be a United States Pony Club rally
during the long, hot months of June and July
This is happening all over America, where
ganized hunts have the time and the parents to
form clubs. offering youngsters from every walk
of life chance to show what they have learned
during the year, under the very physical direction
of their district commissioners.
Out in Virginia, two rallies have already been
held, leading up to the Virginia Regional Rally to
be competed at Genwood Park, near Middleburg,
on July H. 10 and IA. The winning team at this
rally will represent Virginia at the National Rally
at Potomac, Md. July 26 to %.
Several Groups
Children in United States Pony Clubs fall into
several different groups of proficiency. They go
backward down the alphabet. There are low DIS
and high DIS, low Cs and high Cs, BIS, and very
small group of AS who ride against one another as
individuals in the National Rally.
The DIS and low Cs had their day at the Rob-
ert McConnells' farm near Halfway, Va, a few
weeks ago. For the second year, the Apple Barrel
Pony Rally drew the cream of young riders from
the Middeburg- Orange County Pony Club as well
as those from the Loudoun Hunt Pony Club and the
Warrenton Pony Club.
There was very little skinned milk in the group,
