Our Story
50+ Years of Horsemanship​
Since 1972, Busselton Horse and Pony Club has been more than just a riding school—it’s been a place where young people grow. As part of a global movement (the largest association of riders in the world!), we use the bond between horse and rider to teach skills that last a lifetime.
​
More Than Just Riding​
What makes Pony Club special? While other sports focus solely on the game, we focus on the character behind the reins.
Through our rallies and events, our members develop:
-
Confidence & Responsibility: Learning to care for a living animal.
-
Resilience & Discipline: Building strength of character through practice and patience.
-
Sportsmanship: Growing alongside a supportive team of peers.
Our Home in Busselton
​Located on Queen Elizabeth Drive, our grounds are a testament to the heart of our community. Built through decades of volunteer dedication, local sponsorship, and fundraising, our facilities offer a safe and professional environment for riders of all levels.​ Our Pony Club facilities include 2 large grassed arenas with Horserail fencing and a smaller enclosed arena that is utilised by our leadline and first ridden riders.​ We also boast a cross country course from PC45 to PC80 in height.​
​
A Club for the Whole Family​
We are proud to be a diverse and active community:
-
40+ Youth Members: Our thriving Pony Club for children, teens and young adults up to 24 years.
-
25+ Adult Riders: A welcoming group for grown-ups who love to ride.​
