MOUNTED GAMES
Clyde Pony Club has a strong and proud history of excellence in mounted games riding.
We are very lucky to have several dedicated coaches who work extremely hard to ensure that all interested riders are encouraged to learn about mounted games and to develop their skills. This includes super coach Wayne Harrex, the 2025 NZPCA South Island Coach of the Year.
Over the past decade, Clyde PC games riders have strongly contested our area events and been well represented in Otago Southland Area teams, with some being members of the winning team at NZPCA Teams National Championships in 2025. Several Clyde members have also gone on to ride in NZ teams competing internationally at World Championship level.

To be eligable, riders must be a current NZPCA member and meet the requirements of the NZPCA Rally Attendance Rule
