Te Atatu Pony Club is an NZPCA affiliated branch of the Western Auckland District Pony clubs and has two other branch members; Henderson Pony Club on Henderson Valley Road and Massey Pony Club on Glen Road. We have twenty five acres of land that is leased from the Waitakere City Council and the pony club has been in the Te Atatu peninsula area since 1972.

At present we cater for a wide range of children with differing abilities. New Members are most welcome. Members are required to attend working bees, rallies and are encouraged to get involved in individual and teams competitions. In the past it has been a requirement that you own, lease or share a horse to attend these rallies and competitions, however this year we are offering rallies for 'Riders without horses'. This is a chance to learn about horses and be part of a fabulous club.

Pony club rallies, which teach the NZPCA curriculum, are held on Thursday night from 6.00-8.00 pm. Riders up to the age of 25 may participate and sit their exams which are held as often as required. We currently have three instructors teaching seperate groups according to certificate level. We are also offering an Adult ride this season. Rallies for this will be held fortnightly on Saturdays.

This year we are holding two ODE's, two Show Jumping events and a fun Derby Day, all with the emphasis of 'give it a go'. The events run from Pre-Intro to Training. We allow lead reins in Pre-Intro show jumping and cross country and calling in the Pre-Intro dressage.

We are willing to help out the community as much as possible, providing rides at local school fairs as well as more involvement with the local business community.
