Belfast Pony Club is a branch of the North Canterbury pony club network, with its ground on Spencerville Road, next to Chaneys Forest. Its address is 29 Spencerville Road in Kainga, Christchurch. Rallies are held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Adults ride from 10 am and youth groups start at 1 pm. The website asks riders to be ready before the start time for briefings and a gear check. The club welcomes new members all year. Youth may try the club three times before joining, and adults twice. It can also host overnight stays for up to 15 horses or ponies, for pony club camps and groups.
Rallies work through the NZPCA certificate framework, along with team events and a badge system for riders who want to take part. Riders under 18 need a parent or guardian to nominate them, and riders under 16 need a guardian on site on rally days. Customers say the club is great, with a family feel. One visited a club event and found the courses perfect for beginners, and for riders on new horses.
