Katie Murray is a candidate Local rider tries out for Canadian pony team Katie Murray, a member of the local Durham Pony Club, was one of two Central Ontario Region candi- dates for the 2002 Canadian Prince Philip Games team. Along with Eliza Gravel of the Temiskaming Pony Club and representatives from other Pony Club Regions across Canada, Ms. Murray took part in a selection camp held near Calgary from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3. Ms. Murray already had a very good vear in riding on both the team and individual levels. Her Prince Philip Games (PPG) team qualified for the Zone Championships at the A level. Recently she was Beginner Division Champion at the Central Canadian Zone show jumping championships, competing against riders from across Ontario and Quebec. She was second in the Central Ontario Regional A/B/C Rally in the Entry Division. This will be her second trip to Western Canada this year; earlier this year she placed 11th in the Junior Girls Division of the Canadian Pony Club National Tetrathlon, which was held near Vancouver, competing against athletes from all across Canada in a sport that combines shooting, swimming, Cross-country running, cross- country riding over fixed obstacles and stadium jumping. Centrai Ontario's representatives to Zone and National championships must win those positions in qualifying competition within their own Region, and it is unusual for one young rider to do well in so many different aspects of the sport. A Grade 10 student at Courtice High School, Murray has ambitions to com- pete at increasingly higher levels in show jumping, tetrathlon and eventing. Aside from riding-related activities, her interests include baseball, swimming, spending time with her friends and shopping. The Prince Philip Cup Games are a team competi- tion played by Pony Clubs around the world. The Games are played by teams of five riders and five ponies, four of which participate in each game. All of the Games are variations on the relay race, and all are g.eat fun for players and spectators alike. Many of the Games require the riders and ponies to run a slalom course around a series of poles from one end of the playing field to the other, where they hand-off something to the next rider on their team. In some races, riders have to vault off of and onto their ponies. This year's international PPG Championships took place recently in Lexington, Kentucky, with Canada finishing third in the world.
