The Prince Philip Cup Games are a team competition played by Pony Clubs around the world. This meet featured a guest team from New Zealand playing at the Masters level. The Games are played by teams of five riders and five ponies, four of which participate in each game. All of the Games are variations on the relay race, and all are great fun for players and spectators alike. Many of the Games require the riders and ponies to run a slalom course around a series of poles from one end of the playing field to the other, where they hand-off something to the next rider on their team. In some races, riders have to vault off of and onto their ponies.
Here are complete scores meet-by-meet.
