Alexandra and District Horse and Pony Club

Alexandra Pony Club ran its annual pre Rodeo Rally evening on Friday 7th of January, 2022. Each year rider received help from a couple of the rodeo competitors. Then riders get a timed run with their age added in seconds to try and take out the Alexandra Pony Club Rodeo Barrel Race perpetual trophy.

The Club would like to thank the Alexandra Pro Rodeo committee for letting us hold the evening rally and for providing a barbecue for members. Members are looking forward to a fun summer rally on Sunday, 6 February. For all Enquiries  about coming and trying or joining Alexandra Pony Club please contact club secretary Laura.

The Club was very well represented at the 2019 Alexandra Show with an active Pony Club ring.

The the assistance of some generous volunteers, the club hosted a fundraising Freshman’s Showjumping ring at the Alexandra Gymkhana.

For our July rally we visited the Barefoot Blacksmith to enjoy their amazing facilities. We learned hoof care and anatomy, took to the trail, and we enjoyed dressage and jumping instruction from event rider and yoga instructor, Kelly Mort from Yoga for the Modern Day Equestrian.

Our riders all shone in March, 2019 and arrived with a passion for learning, zest for fun and willingness to challenge themselves!

Our visiting instructor, Fairley Gidley-Baird from GBS Equestrian Centre provided some comprehensive training in flat riding and jumping disciplines.

The February 2019 rally was our annual camp weekend.  This year the Alexandra Pony Club attended Whinbury Hill Equestrian Centre in Paraparap for a brand new experience and the very popular low-tide ride.

From show ring, to rodeo, to the beach – what a huge few months it’s been!

In January, 2019, with sincere thanks to the Alexandra Pro Rodeo, the Alexandra Pony Club members were able to put our horses and ponies through the challenging barrels course, under the watchful eye of some rodeo pros, Latoya (Miss Rodeo Australia, 2017) and her pro sister, TeAna.  Jordan came back the next day and put in a very professional ride in the main event!

Congratulations to Lilly on being awarded Best Alexandra Pony Club Rider & Mount Combination at the 135th Alexandra Annual Spring Show in 2018!  The Pony Club was well represented across all of the arenas with horses and riders meticulously prepared.

We are always keen to welcome new riders, volunteers, families, and friends.
