Kids rally Tuesday 6-8pm
Adult rally Wednesday 6-8pm It begins the green belt that wraps itself around the Waitakere Ranges.

Massey Pony Club is a 48 acre property on Glen Rd, just minutes away from Henderson, Massey, Ranui and Swanson. We have a long term lease from Waitakere City Council that has another 15 years to run with the automatic right of renewal. Our Pony Club is divided into two parts the majority on a 20 year lease, and a small part of our land on a shared lease with other council activities. With a river

running through the middle of the land we have a wonderful flat paddock on both sides. These paddocks are where our pony club rallies take place meaning on a Tuesday night if you visit you can see some 60 children all in supervised groups being taught the wonders of equestrian discipline. Massey Pony Club has a wonderful sand and rubber surface all weather Arena. A full X Country facility which spans from Open – Pre Intro and in the Summer months a good selection of show jumping grids and courses are permanently up and available for use. Our grounds are usually open from mid September to late May dependent on ground conditions. Our Pony Club rallies teach the New Zealand Pony Club curriculum and are run on a Tuesday night from 6.00 – 8.00. They are available for up to 21 years olds and for those who wish to continue with certificates after this 25. We have 9 Instructors who teach from Beginner, to those working towards there A & H exams (these exams are the highest recognised exams run by the NZPCA and are transferable to the New Zealand unit standard tests for Equestrian studies). We also offer all our members extra dressage, show jumping, mounted games and X Country instruction from some of New Zealand’s most recognised Instructors. Our facilities are used for the schooling of horses and riders at all levels. It is our vision for Massey Pony Club to become one of the leading schooling equestrian centres in the country. We pride ourselves at Massey on being a friendly club, making everyone feel welcome and trying to include our many and varied members in as many of our activities as possible. We work as a team to run our events, we will be holding 2 ODE’s and 2 ribbon day’s this year as per the availability of events from the wider Waitemata Rodney Area. Our members have over the last 10 years and before always represented us well in all major competitions, our youth help to make up all West Auckaland District teams and often our riders have been selected to represent us in the greater Waitemata Rodney Zone at National Pony Club Events in all disciplines. Pony Club Horse Trial Events, Dressage & Games. Massey have for many years been a winning combination at the Zone 1 mounted games event. We have a membership of 64 youth and 40 adult riders with many associated non riding members. Our Adult ride meets on a Wednesday night and caters for riders of all levels. We are a friendly united club who enjoy welcoming new members into our midst. Every year we hold an Easter camp that is open to both Adult and Youth riders and is usually held at Woodhill Forest for 4 – 5 days, these are wonderful and looked forward to by old and young alike. They are completely non structured camps and are an opportunity for everyone to participate in a trekking, beach and endurance riding. We all eat together and have a famous Burma Trail, skit night and have recently added a singing night to our evenings. It is usually during these camps that we have an all members welcome final BBQ of the season at the Parakai Hot Pools.

𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗦𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗙𝗔𝗥𝗘 | 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻
As we head into Christmas and summer holidays, many of us will be travelling or taking a break, and some will be competing in the early New Year. Let’s remember that our horses rely on us for consistent care and well-being.

𝗘𝗦𝗡𝗭’𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀:
- Welfare comes first – competition results or convenience must never outweigh a horse’s health.
-Respect and dignity – horses should be treated with compassion at all times, whether at home, in training, or at events.
- Fitness to compete – only horses that are healthy, properly prepared, and not suffering from injury or illness should take part.
- Clean Sport – doping, misuse of medication, or harmful training methods have no place in equestrian sport.
- Safe environments – event conditions must protect horses from harm, including extreme weather.
- Education and vigilance – everyone has a duty to learn best practices, recognise signs of distress, and report concerns.

𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲:
- Checked daily for water, feed, and shelter.
- Monitored for heat stress and injury.
- Left in the care of someone experienced if you’re away.

Together, we can make sure our horses enjoy the festive season safely and with the dignity they deserve.

ECOHORSE MEMBER OF THE MONTH ✨

Each month, thanks to the wonderful Kerry at Ecohorse, we get to showcase one of our hardworking members!

Our Ecohorse member of the month for November was committee member, jump fixer, canteen chef and pony-Dad extraordinaire Clint Wood!

Clint ever so graciously took over the weekly management of our canteen on very short notice this season (amongst the many other hats he wears here at the club!) and our rally night dinners have been NEXT LEVEL 🤌🏼

Congratulations Clint! We appreciate you and everything that you do! (Despite your insistent aversion to taking a nice photo! 😆)

Big congratulations also owing to the following superstar members who were also nominated:

⭐️ Anne Leyland - For her commitment, time and effort getting our Express ODE off the ground.

⭐️ Maisie McCorquodale - For her consistent commitment to her pony and riding.

⭐️ Indy Wood - For her adaptability in taking on the ride of a new pony and placing at our Express ODE.
