Martha Klinger (DC of PVPC) and Sally Phillips are busy sharing out these tasks right now:
- making (with help from friends), borrowing, searching, finding the VERY long list of equipment needed for 21 games played on 5 lanes - we get something done everyday to chip away at the list
- schedules, programs, team lists, prizes, stabling charts, name tags - all have to be organized and communicated
- volunteers - many of them - have to be solicited, we have approx 30 people helping to put on games including 10 lane judges, 2 line judges, starter, and 5 other pairs of eyes watching games to make sure the action is fairly and accurately scored.
- equipment crew - our top notch equipment crew is undergoing training to allow them to switch out equipment at the speed of light between games to keep the show rolling
- hospitality - we are gearing up to house and keep our judges, TDs, HM judges fed, watered and housed

Here is what she says about herself.
Why do you like pony club?
Because it offers many lesson for life, and teaches its members to be good equestrians (not just good riders), to work as a team, to overcome hurdles, to give back, and to have FUN!

Hands down XC
What do you have special planned for your discipline?
It is first champs experience for most of our games players, and often the first mounted champs discipline due to the lower age/rating qualifying criteria - we want them to be safe (games can be hectic with 5 teams of 4/5 competing at once), feel successful, and that all their hard work practicing paid off. We want them to enjoy their champs experience and come back from more in future years including the other disciplines
What are your hobbies outside of horses?
Triathlon - races of all distances short and very long (ironman and longer)
Do you have pets?
Yes 2 huskies and 2 cats - all rescues
What is a funny story about you?
I was a member of the Vine pony club in England growing up - I recently happened to check them out on their web site and noticed a contemporary of mine from that era is now the DC, and living at the same farm as her parents - we used to have lots of pc rallies there. Generations change everything, and yet they change nothing :)
