SHILLINGTON There was
an air of anticipation among the
young people present as they
looked over the expansive trophy
table that was widespread with tro
phies and gifts for the top riders of
the 1987 season. The occasion was
the annual awards banquet of the
Schuylkill Valley Pony of the
America’s Club held November
Bth at the Shillington Restaurant,
Shillington, Pennsylvania.
A relatively young club, The
Schuylkill Valley POA Club was
chartered in 1977, covers an area
that extends East to Baltimore,
Maryland, South past Chambers
burg, and beyond Bloomsburg in
to central Pennsylvania. Boasting
over 40 family memberships to
date, the Schuylkill Valley POA
Club holds nine shows a year and
gives the entire family a chance to
participate together in one of the
most popular sports of horseback
riding, while promoting the versa
only used in the winter months to solve winter-type
problems.
The real benefit of FPPF Fuel Power is to solve the
year ’round problems that only a unique product
like Fuel Power can solve:

injection system
* Prevents the growth of algae
* Decarbonizes the entire fuel injection system
which gives greater power.

Schuylkill Valley Pony Club Holds Banquet
tile breed of larger ponies, the
spotted Pony of the America’s.
Their shows, as well as their
awards, are divided into age
groups, so that families can com
pete in equalized competition. “It
is important to note this,’’ stated
Sara Moyer, the Treasurer of the
POA club. The breakdown in ages
is for competitive reasons and
gives younger children encourage
ment to excell among their peers,
she went on to explain.
When the dust cleared and all
the awards were handed out, the
top rider of the day was the appa
rent choice of all those who
