Boggabri Pony Club is back in action and riders attended a club rally day recently to learn from instructors on jumping and campdrafting, among other things.
Meanwhile, HACC went on a day trip to Lake Keepit recently for a barbecue lunch.
The last time the group visited the dam was 12 months before and HACC said "the difference in that time has had a small but positive effect on the dam and its environment".
"Our clients were amazed at the difference and how lovely and green it is after the much-needed rain," HACC said.
HACC has postponed its mystery bus trip on April 1 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
