Waihora Pony Club
Waihora Pony Club has been around since the early 1950s. The Club is based at the Motukarara Domain grounds where we have a wonderful clubroom which was moved onto the present site by some of the founding club families. Waihora Pony Club prides itself on its down-to-earth grassroots atmosphere and its history. It still has strong connections with its founding members where their children rode and now they have the enjoyment of watching their grandchildren ride on the same grounds. A friendly club where we aim to provide a fun, safe environment where kids can ride with their friends and learn about how to look after their ponies.
