We had a great day at our Matariki SJ training day with our local friends from Heathcote Valley Riding School and Sumner Valley Riding School.

A big thank you to all our helpers, supporters and parents especially to Sharni Passeri - Fiber Fresh Territory Manager South Island for her help with judging and generous donation of spot prizes of yummy Fiber Fresh feed.

⚠️Reminder – Ground Users ⚠️
If you are not a member of Ferrymead Pony Club and are using the grounds (including the hill tracks), please make sure you have booked via our page and PAID. Our ground fee is $15 per horse.

We are aware that recently the grounds have been used by non-members without payment. Ferrymead Pony Club is a not-for-profit organisation and we have significant operating costs to keep the grounds operational and maintained.

A few more housekeeping rules:
❌ Please report any breakages.

❌ Back Protectors are compulsory when jumping XC fences. This is non-negotiable whether you are a member or not.

❌ Dogs must be on a lead at all times when on the grounds.

Thank you to the majority of riders who do use our grounds honestly and responsibly.
