Penny was Kim's riding pony for about 4 years when she was aged 8-12yo. They won many hack awards and rider events together. A highlight was winning 3rd at the Adelaide Royal Show in the 10 years & under 12 years Rider class, when Kim was 10yo. At the same Royal, Kim also rode for the Beck family on 12hh pony hack, Kawanna Park Lucy, taking out Champion Small pony.
