Saddleview Pony Club

By Saddleview Ponyclub | Posted: Thursday February 11, 2016

Saddleview Pony Club is located in Flower St, Fairfield, Dunedin at the Dunedin RDA grounds. We cater for all levels of riders. Prospective members who have never been a member of pony club before can contact our head coach to organise coming along for up to 3 rallies before joining. We share facilities with the Dunedin Riding for the Disabled and have a large all weather arena and a grassed arena for our rallies.

Saddleview Pony Club provides a club where like minded horse and pony lovers can develop friendships, achieve personal goals and where team spirit and participation is fostered. Our members includes adult members, coaches, riding members from lead rein through to experienced riders.

Our coaches come from a variety of backgrounds and have knowledge and experience across varying equine fields. We aim to run a fun, full and varied rally program throughout the season. The NZPCA certificate syllabus for riding and horsemanship forms the foundation work at rallies, which is complemented by visiting equine specialists, beach & cross country rallies, games rallies and club trophy competitions.

Rallies are held on Tuesday evenings from 6.00pm to 8.00pm from around October until April each year. Registration night is usually in late August/early September. Date will be updated here when set.

Our club is competitive and puts teams forward for a variety of competitions such as Southern Teams, Springston, SJ Champs, OMR & Zone Games, Presidents Trophy, Frank Clarke Memorial and The Oskam Shield.

We hold an annual Inexperienced Rider Competition and Fun Day for all riders young and mature.

It caters for lead rein and beginners providing them with a competition that doesn't involve jumping - having games or an obstacle course as a fun alternative. Beginner and junior level jumping commences at 30cm for those that are confident to make a start on jumping. Beginner and junior dressage tests are part of the competition for all, to give young, inexperienced older riders and green horses, a chance to have a go. The competition day is great for young kids, new combinations, young horses, inexperienced riders and mature riders wanting to have some fun.

This years date has been set for 6th March 2016.
