YOUNG riders are gearing up to take part in a major pony show.

The competition is staged by Bicester and Warden Hill Pony Club and has been running since 2001, in Marsh Gibbon near the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire border.

It invites riders along to compete in classes such as show jumping and dressage. The family event at Marsh Gibbon Stables will also have a host of food and ice creams on offer and a bouncy castle for the children. All funds from the pony show will go towards supporting charities such as the Thames Valley Air Ambulance Service.
