Welcome to Mill Creek Pony Club

One of Ashburton's original Pony Clubs

As a grassroots pony club, the club prides itself as a place where children can learn to ride and care for their ponies and horses. Riding does not need to be a financial burden to a family and can still be affordable to ride at our pony club.

Mill Creek Pony Club field is based on the eastern outskirts of Ashburton and boasts great facilities for its members as well as a fantastic team of dedicated coaches.

Facilities include a 60x40m surfaced arena, 60x20m dressage arena, show jumps and mini cross country course as well as spacious parking and tie up areas.
