  • "Why join pony club ? Because it’s fun , you make so many friends and memories to keep. Learn so much and so does my mum, it gave me confidence with pony and riding . I love to hang out with the little kids and help them with their ponies . The Uniform is very cool too. You get to go to so many events like show jumping champs and inter-branch, you get a great sense of achievement when you’ve passed your exams . Don’t think about , do it , you won’t regret it!"- Phoebe, aged 13.


  • Hello my name is Isabelle Helm, I have two ponies named Nemo and Rocky.  I have been part of the Maniototo Pony Club since I was 5 years old and have loved being in its friendly and happy environment.  There are so many people to help you out and some cool kids as well to make friends with.   Maniototo Pony Club is also great with all the events we compete in, from the Interbranch to the Show Jumping Champs.  Last year we made a joint team with Cromwell and Wakatiou Pony Clubs for Springston Trophy, to was such a great and fun experience. I competed in the 95cm.  This year we are trying to take our own Maniototo team away to Springston.
