Our Adult Rally (ages 21+) are on Wednesday nights from 6-8pm.
do we offer riding lessons?
We currently are unable to offer riding lessons to children who do not have access to their own pony.
what is the intro to pony club course?
Intro to Pony Club is a ten week course, run twice per season (October – December, February – April) which are aimed at introducing pony-mad children and their families to the world of Pony Club. Children do not need to have their own pony to participate in this course. The programme is mostly theory-based but may include some riding on our safe ponies, depending on availability.
Yes, we offer a Summer Grounds Pass, which gives you almost unlimited access to our arena and grounds from October - April. (The exception being no riding on the grounds on Tuesday or Wednesday after 5pm when our rallies are being held.)
The cost is $600, and pass holders are not required to complete working bees or help with events. If you would like to purchase a Summer Grounds Pass, please email us at masseyponyclub@gmail.com
As an Adult Rider, If you would like to ride at Massey you are very welcome to join the Club as a Horsemaster and enjoy all of our facilities, whether you join in the regularly scheduled Adult Ride rallies or not. Horsemasters are required to meet working bee and event set-up requirements.
Is there a summer GROUNDS PASS?
Massey Pony Club’s scheme ponies have now retired from scheme pony service, but our committee is happy to support members in their search for a lease pony. Lease ponies can make Pony Club accessible to families who need a bit more time to fund a pony for their child.
do you have ponies available for kids wanting to give pony club a try?
Non-members are required to pay a ground fee of $20.00 per horse to use our riding facilities on a casual basis. Ground fees can be paid into the drop-box at the club house using the envelopes provided. If you intend to ride at MPC frequently throughout the season we suggest you consider enrolling as a full member.
Please be aware the gates are locked so if you intend to ride without a MPC member to accompany you then you will need to contact us via email to arrange to ride at a time you can be let in.
