Colac junior riders put on their game faces and braved wild weather conditions to earn a place in a state equestrian competition.
Twelve riders represented the Colac Pony Club at the Barwon zone round of the state games competition.
The two teams of six demonstrated their riding skills at the games at Ballan on Sunday.
Pony club president Heather Anderson said equestrian games events tested riders’ skill, manoeuvrability, horse control, precision and speed.
“Six teams start out and they have heats and it’s the first across the line,” Mrs Anderson said.
Colac’s first team of Sarah Gamble, Hannah Coutts, Sarah, Grace and Bonnie Anderson and Chloe Tangey put in a solid performance and finished in fourth place.
