Here are the overall results of the 2002 Central Ontario Regional A/B/C Rally and the Central Canada Zone Rally, held concurrently at Lane's End Farm near Bobcaygeon on Saturday, August 10, presented from the most to least difficult levels.

"Rally" is the Pony Club term for Eventing, an Olympic discipline in which competitors must ride a formal Dressage test, follow with a Cross Country or endurance phase across open country and over fixed obstacles, and finish with a Stadium Jumping phase. Scoring is done on a penalty points basis, with all errors of course, refusals, rails down and falls counted as penalties. Penalties are also incurred for taking too much time, or too little, to finish the Cross Country phase. The rider with the fewest penalties wins.

At the Preliminary level, Jenn Zelmer of the Albion Pony Club in the Western Ontario Region won the Zone Championship as the only entry in this Division, riding Piece of the Puzzle.

At the Training level, Kendal Lehari of the Toronto & North York Pony Club in the Central Ontario Region finished first aboard She's All That, to win both the Regional and Zone Championship. Two other Central Ontario riders finished second and third, so that Regional and Zone standings were identical in this Division. Second place went to another Toronto & North York rider, Kitty Baker, on Irish Willie, while Erin Blakeley of the Kawartha Pony Club took third spot riding Thunder Wings.

At the Pre-Training level, Central Ontario Region competitors again took the top three spots for both the Region and the Zone. Jordan Thompson of the Durham Pony Club took the top spot riding Braveheart, followed by two members of the Victoria Pony Club, Amelia Jones on Breezin and Katlyn Hewson riding Northern Escapade.

Central Ontario continued its winning ways at the Entry level, with Kathy Robertson of the Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club first riding Kobalt, Ashley Milne of the Pickering Pony Club second on Overtime and another Uxbridge-Scugog rider, Andrea Edwards, third on Royal Romance.

This Rally also featured team competition at the Training and Pre-Training levels. The first place team in Training was the Central Ontario Team #1, composed of the three riders named above, who finished first, second and third as individuals. At the Pre-Training level, first place went to Central Ontario Team #2, made up of Katlyn Hewson, Amelia Jones, two other Victoria Pony Clubbers, Jessie Barrieau riding Keep On Dreamin' and Kylie Pinder riding Let's Rhumba, and Alison Birdsall of the Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club riding Solo Spirit.
