EFA

At Mt Gravatt Pony Club, we host a number of EFA one day events (ODE's) or Events throughout the year, which is a great and stress free opportunity for riders to try their hand at a different competition whilst on farmiliar grounds. These are run very differently to Pony Club ODE's, to which the rules are outlined Here.
