About Māngere Pony Club
We pride ourselves on being a friendly, supportive community that welcomes riders of all ages + abilities and their families.
Located on the cusp of Ambury Regional Park, Māngere Pony Club facilitates and encourages the development of riding and horse management skills and the achievement of NZPCA certificates by our members. Our members ride in weekly ‘rallies’ during the summer season and we have a mix of riders at all different certificate levels. At each rally members are split up into groups and coached in riding and horse management skills by qualified instructors.
ABOUT MPC
Māngere Pony Club is a welcoming, down-to-earth community where young riders can grow in confidence, skill, and a genuine love for their horses and ponies. Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced, you’ll find a supportive environment here where members are always happy to lend a hand, share knowledge, and encourage our younger riders.
RALLIES:
We come together for rallies with amazing riding coaches every Tuesday evening, catering to a wide range of riding abilities. Alongside this, we offer an "Introduction to Equine Skills" Programme—perfect for those keen to build a strong foundation in horsemanship, horse care, and stable management.
EVENTS:
There’s plenty of opportunity to get involved beyond weekly rallies. Each season, our members are encouraged to take part in inter-pony club team competitions across the Auckland and Manukau districts. These events are a fantastic way to challenge yourself, build friendships, and experience the excitement of representing your club.
Māngere Pony Club also hosts a variety of competitions throughout the year, many of which are open to riders from outside the club. Our popular One Day Event regularly attracts over 150 competitors, alongside other events such as our Show- Cross, PC Teams Events and ribbon days—there’s always something happening!
FACILITIES:
Our grounds are a real highlight, featuring excellent facilities designed to support rider development at every level. With two arenas and a full cross-country course, members have access to everything they need to progress and enjoy their riding.
Non-members can also ride on our grounds for a small $30 ground fee for XC schooling, hacking and other equine activties.
GRAZING:
We are proud to offer full-year on-site grazing for our members, with spaces available by application as part of full financial membership, providing a convenient and supportive home base for both horse and rider.
Please note that Māngere Pony Club is not a riding school and does not offer riding lessons. However, we’re always happy to point beginners in the direction of reputable riding schools in the Auckland area.
If you’re looking for a friendly, active club where you can learn, compete, and be part of a great community, Māngere Pony Club could be the perfect fit.
