The Isle of Man Pony Club has received grant funding to help improve facilities at its popular equestrian centre.
The local branch has been awarded Community Awards funding from Manx Lottery Trust to help develop the club, after recently moving from its old site in Santon and relocating to a new venue at Ballacorey Equestrian in Andreas.
£8,000 has been used towards the cost of timber and to undertake groundworks and construct fences for the club’s new cross-country course.
A further amount of £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.
Alice Corrin, District Commissioner at Isle of Man Pony Club, 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. We’re really pleased with the end result and are so grateful to Manx Lottery Trust for helping to fund it, and of course for the additional funding which will be used to purchase essential new equipment for our club."
