Ardmore Pony Club welcomes new members. Our season starts the first weekend of September and runs through to April. Rallies are held on Saturday afternoons. Some of the benefits of being a member include:
- learning safe and effective ways to ride and look after a horse
- the companionship of like-minded people, both parents and riders
- being able to participate in a sport that teaches teamwork, responsibility, discipline and having fun
- the fact that it’s a sport the whole family can enjoy
You can become a member:
- If you have your own pony, grazing and transport and by making an enquiry to the President
- By speaking to the Sonshine Ranch office who may, after about 12 months of Sonshine Ranch lessons, consider you for the hire a pony programme, so that you have a ranch horse to ride at Saturday rallies
Parents:
Pony club is a family commitment. Each rider must have a non-riding parent member, for which the club pays a levy to the Franklin District and NZPC Association. Parents need to ask themselves whether they can fulfill the club’s requirements of parents. We need you -
- to open email regularly
- to read the minutes
- to remind their rider about reading and replying to e-mail
- to remind their rider to inform the rally co-ordinator about rally absences
- to be rostered on to help at ordinary rallies
- to provide adult helpers at events in which their rider participates
- to attend two working bees
- to attend a minimum of two committee meetings per season
- to attend the AGM
