Over at the Boggabri Showground, the local pony club held lessons in show jumping, pattern work and flexing their horses.
"It was a wonderful day with fun had by all … [and] a wide range of ages attended the day," pony club's Kirsty Ratcliffe said.
"The children have all come along such a long way with their horses and ponies and learning about them.
"We are so very lucky to have great instructors come along each rally day to help with the children."
The club will host its annual two-day Mothers Day stock horse and Blanch Trophy day from May 11-12.
