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 3 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.
