With the support of their parents, Tracey and Gary, the pair have been competing at a number of show and pony club events across NSW over the last 12-18 months.

Both have achieved outstanding results, too, and both have no plans to slow down.

Hailey (14) just took out the highest point scorer award after competing in five events at the Queanbeyan Pony Club's Monaro Shield. This, along with her being named Zone 16 Showjumper of the Year (C-grade), was one of the best results of her 2015.

Bree (16), not one to be left in her sister's shadow, has also been a standout for the Yass Pony Club this year.

She was the reserve champion in the Zone 16 Showjumping in Queanbeyan earlier this year and won at the 2015 Wagga Wagga Show competing in the 65cm showjumping event.

Both Yass High students said they particularly enjoy participating in show events. 

"In the shows, (unlike pony club events), you have to go up against open riders and that's always a good challenge," Hailey said.

"You can also learn from the older riders who have been doing it for ages and that makes you ride better, too," Bree added.

The pair have also experienced the tutelage of Olympian Natalee Blundell, and they say she's been an invaluable asset to have.

"She knows a lot about the sport and helps us learn more about it and understand more about what we're doing," Bree said.

"She said she has high hopes for both of them," proud dad Gary chimes in.

The girls have been treated to two promising young horses, raised and reared by their grandparents. Hailey's horse Sandy is ten and Bree's horse Annie is six.

"Sometimes they are a bit naughty but you have to trust them and we have definitely got that in our horses, and that's a huge part of it," Hailey said.

The Lennon's also lease Sophie, an experienced 12-year-old mare owned by Blundell, and own 10-year-old Henry, the only boy in the group.

Despite the tough nature of the sport, in regards to convenience and expenses, both Tracey and Gary wouldn't have it any other way.

"We just love seeing the kids having a good time and whether we're stablehands or just the lift to the event we're happy to be a part of it," Gary said.

The family is off competing again at the weekend, this time bound for the Cooma Spring Showjumping Carnival. The Tribune wishes them the best of luck.
