PONY RIDES: While we have a lineup of exciting scheduled pony activities for school holidays, we can also create a special 1.5-hour session just for you and your friends. Gather a group, and let’s saddle up for some pony fun! (Minimum of 8 riders, please!)
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid any misunderstandings, we do not offer casual pony rides for just one or two children, only our posted pony ride days and our school holiday schedule. Our focus is on children’s pony parties, events and our scheduled school holiday activities.

Sharing My Experience & Love of Horses
All the teaching the children will receive is based on the Pony Club Association of Australia system of horsemastership and rider training.
Having grown up in the pony club system, attending Donvale and later Templestowe pony clubs, I've been deeply immersed in the world of horses for as long as I can remember. I have always had a passion for competition, particularly in eventing, but also dressage and show jumping. Progressing through the pony club ranks, I achieved victory at the Grade 1 level State Championships in eventing, and I later enjoyed several successful years competing in open EA competitions, including the Australian National Three Day Event Championships in Queensland. Two years equestrian experience in the USA, training and competing in horse trials has been a favoured highlight.
During my young adult years, I took great pleasure in teaching and training the younger children at Wyena Pony Club in Warranwood, incorporating fun activities into our lessons. It was incredibly rewarding to witness these kids thrive and develop their skills on their ponies. Guiding them through the horsemastership certificates was also a key part of their growth. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with the next generation, prioritizing safe handling and safety around ponies above all else.
