Thanks to the IGA Community Chest program, a donation of $3000 was received by the club last weekend.
IGA Merriwa manager Andrew Richards said he was delighted to be able to present the club with the donation.
“As owners of a local business we are acutely aware of how important it is, as members of a small community, to support each other.
“We are always keen to support an event or street stall to assist with raising funds for a community group or charity,” Mr Richards said.
“When we work in store each day we often forget that it is important to get the word out, about how making a few purchasing decisions as a customer in your local store can really assist the community,” he said.
The money will be used to go towards the purchase of a trailer for the pony clubs sporting equipment.
