Pony Club Rides In Wintry Conditions

It would be difficult to imagine worse conditions than those existing for the annual one-day event conducted by the Nelson Pony Club on the property of R.J. and F.J. O'Connor, Appleby, on Easter Saturday. Driving rain provided horses with a treacherous footing and spectators with unpleasant conditions. So bad did the weather become that the intermediate and senior cross country events were abandoned.
