We're looking forward to seeing training, novice, beginner novice and starter riders out at Bittersweet Field. We have good turf for those levels and are hard at work setting courses for our riders. We opted to cancel the upper levels because we pride ourselves on having good conditions for our competitors and look forward to running all levels in the fall.

Seneca Valley Pony Club Spring H.T.(June 2018) Omnibus ListingComment: The Intermediate and Preliminary divisions will not be held - cancellation is due to course damage from recent excessive rain and damage from an event run by another organization held at the field preventing us from setting a course of sufficient length on good footing for the upper levels. Training through Elementary courses will run on good turf. Information regarding refunds for existing entries forthcoming.
