WHAT IS THE AWARD OF MERIT?
The Award of Merit is the highest State Award for Service to Pony Club by a member aged between 19 – 26 years.
This award recognises the commitment of young members to their Club on an administration or in a voluntary work capacity.
Service means carrying out tasks that benefit the club, its members and perhaps the wider community. Service does not include riding ability or competing in teams.
