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.

ECOHORSE MEMBER OF THE MONTH ✨

Our Ecohorse member of the month for February was very deserving junior rally rider Zoey Wood!

Zoey has worked incredibly hard these past couple of months and it really shows! She was crowned our intermediate SJ champion for the 24/25 season at our SJ trophy evening, was runner up intermediate at our dressage trophy evening, has had wins and placings in SJ and SH at local shows and is also smashing it in her first season of Horse Trials. All with a new horse she is still getting to know!

Congratulations Zoey, we’re so proud of you and Max and hope you enjoy your Ecohorse voucher!

Zoey’s favourite Ecohorse product is the spray leave-in conditioner - which leaves your horse looking super shiny! ✨

💡 TUESDAY TIP - Don’t underestimate the trusty trot pole!

Trot and canter pole exercises are low impact, encourage your horse to push equally from behind, and are excellent for developing an equal stride length and for improving symmetry, straightness and coordination.

To negotiate poles sucessfully requires increased momentum, flexion of all the limb joints, power and spring.

Add some pole exercises to your weekly training regime (or even replace your jumping session while the ground is so hard) and see the benefits for yourself!

ECOHORSE MEMBER OF THE MONTH ✨

We had two of these to award to our lucky members for December and January - The second went to junior rally coach and event secretary extraordinaire Erin Swainston!

Erin was the brains, braun and beauty behind our very successful 2DE. It’s a mammoth effort to get a show like that off the ground and it was an absolute reflection of the (voluntary!) time and effort she had put into it behind closed doors.

Erin has received an Ecohorse voucher to spend. Her favourite Ecohorse product is the Charcoal Shampoo. “Having a grey horse, it is very difficult to restore his coat back to its natural colour when he gets dirty but this shampoo works a treat! Not to mention the shine it brings out and it smells amazing!”

A huge thanks to Ecohorse for supporting this initiative. We love being able to shine a light on our hardworking members each month ✨

ECOHORSE MEMBER OF THE MONTH ✨

We had two of these to award to our lucky members for December and January - The first went to junior rally rider Amèlie Tomkins!

Amèlie worked incredibly hard in the lead up to our 2DE with her pony Mexx - Fine tuning all three phases and overcoming her share of setbacks. She stayed positive and realistic with her goals and was rewarded in buckets placing 3rd in dressage and 2nd overall in the 65 unders class! 👏🏼

Well done Amèlie! We’re so very proud of you.

Amèlie has received an Ecohorse voucher to spend. Her favourite Ecohorse product is the ringside pod, for storing all of her favourite products!
