We were one of the lucky ones to get to know Lizzie and her passion for ponies.
Ive known Lizzie since preschool days - Both Selwyn Toddlers and Burnham playgroups, then as she grew I became her coach for several years at RRC and her passion for her horses grew.
Our thoughts and love go out to Anne-Marie and her family at this sad time.

Pony Club. NZPCA
We are considering the benefits of offering Pony Club at RRC.

Benefits for Young Riders-
The Pony Club training structure provides a clear structure for training our young riders. Lessons are steered to cover material for riding tests and certificates gained.
This includes stable management, in hand or ground work, Horse riding and horse management. Coaches, riders and parents should be able to see progression in
riding and pony care ability. Many riding schools already run these as a Pony Club
and we see some benefit to riders who may move onto pony clubs in the future. Pony Club’s certificates are internationally recognised
certificates and become part of the largest association of young riders in the
world.

The cost would be added to your current lessons and all the learning and achievements available to parents via the Pony Club app.

Lessons are currently $450 per term
With the addition of NZ Pony Club certificates. The cost becomes $490 per term.
I'd like your feedback whether you and your riders would like yo become NZPCA affiliated.
We would then offer this to All students.

Why Ride More Than One Pony!!
-The more personality types, situations and disciplines you expose yourself to as a rider, the better you’ll be!
Coaches understand how to choose your horse for the best learning experience/outcome so riders can file information away for future use and hone skills.
A horse becomes the teacher, and for a rider to utilize more teachers creates more learning oportunities.
While a new horse can take time to master, the learning is exponential.
-What we learn- Refine your aids, patience, confidence, balance, adaptability, personalities, weaknesses in our own riding and of course new skills that riding only one pony can not teach.
Enjoy the journey!
