About Whitford Pony Club

Whitford Pony Club is a volunteer-run, family-oriented club on 28 acres at 46 Whitford-Maraetai Road, in Whitford, east of Auckland. Children and adults learn horse riding and horse management there. The grounds have a cross-country course, 60 by 20 metre and 40 by 20 metre dressage arenas, a large sand showjumping arena, covered yards with wash-down areas and a clubhouse. Membership is for people who own or lease their own horse or pony.

The club runs regular rallies for members. Each rally has two parts, riding and horse management, and riders are grouped by ability or certificate level. The club says its coaches are highly experienced, professional and qualified. Casual riders and professional coaches are also welcome to use the grounds. The club names its sponsors, who help keep the grounds in good order and the rally programme going. For a family in Whitford or the East Auckland area with a horse or pony, the club is a place to ride with other members and their families.
