On Saturday, April 15, 120 members of 20 Pony Club Branches took part in the Central Ontario Region Quiz at Henry Street High School in Whitby. Quiz includes an oral test, a written test and a visual test, in which competitors must identify unusual horsey objects. Teams can also enter display projects based on pre-set themes (separate competition). The three divisions in Quiz are based on age and knowledge level. The D level is for the youngest and least experienced pony clubbers, the C level for the intermediates, and the A/B level for the oldest and most experienced.

In the display project competition, Sudbury finished first in the A/B division, with Napanee second and Baltimore Hills third. Prince Edward County was the C level champion, with Eglinton second and Durham third. Oshawa took the honours at the D level with Tynedale second and Prince Edward County third.

Team standings were as follows:
