Pony Club
From Riding Lessons to Pony Club Adventures 🐴
🏇 Casino Pony Club
Casino Pony Club welcomes riders across a broad range of ages and experience levels and provides a supportive environment where members can learn, ride, make friends and enjoy being part of the wider equestrian community.
Several members of the Little Ranch coaching team are actively involved with Casino Pony Club, and our coaches hold or are progressing through Pony Club Australia instructor qualifications.
At Little Ranch, we love giving riders opportunities to take their horsemanship beyond their weekly lessons.
Little Ranch has a strong connection with Casino Pony Club, with our coaches actively involved in the club and sharing a passion for helping riders develop their skills, confidence and love of horses.
For riders who would like to experience Pony Club, Little Ranch can help make that next step possible — even if you don't own your own horse.
🐴 Don't Own a Horse? No Problem!
One of the biggest barriers for children wanting to join Pony Club can be not having a horse of their own.
Little Ranch riders may have the opportunity to attend Casino Pony Club rally days using a suitable Little Ranch horse or pony, subject to availability, rider suitability and prior arrangement.
The fee to use a Little Ranch horse or pony at a rally day is $50 per rider, equivalent to the cost of a Little Ranch group lesson.
This fee covers the use of the Little Ranch horse or pony for the rally day. Pony Club membership, rally or event fees are separate and are paid directly to Pony Club where applicable.
This gives riders the chance to experience Pony Club, try different activities and continue developing their riding and horsemanship skills — without needing to own their own horse.
🌟 What Can Riders Experience?
Pony Club provides opportunities to participate in a wide variety of mounted and unmounted activities, which may include:
Flatwork and dressage
Showjumping
Sporting and mounted games
Poles and obstacle activities
Horse care and horsemanship
Trail and recreational riding activities
Learning about horse health, safety and management
Rally days, training days and other Pony Club activities
Activities vary between rally days and are suited to riders' experience and ability.
💚 A Pathway for Little Ranch Riders
There is absolutely no pressure for Little Ranch riders to join Pony Club — but for those who fall in love with riding and want to experience more, it's a wonderful next step.
Our coaches can help families understand how Pony Club works, whether their child is ready and what they need to get started.
Little Ranch riders attending with one of our horses or ponies will be matched with a suitable mount wherever possible, with arrangements made in advance.
