BERRIMA District Pony Club (BDPC) members helped raise close to $800 for charity recently.

The club held its annual Showjumping and Derby Day as part of the Breast Cancer Network Australia's Pink Sports Day.

Pink Sports Day is an opportunity to support people in the local community who have been affected by breast cancer.

The BDPC held its event in honour of club volunteer Alex Wansey.

Wansey was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2015.

The final tally from the BDPC day has been calculated, with close to $800 generated for cancer research.

The BDPC Showjumping and Derby Day attracted 55 riders on May 10.

Highlights of the event included a novelty Pink Horse Competition.

Berrima youngster Maddie Conway (3) took out the competition after her family used shampoo to dye their pony Jackie pink.
