Perth Horse and Pony Club is one of the oldest pony clubs in Perth and the only one left in the inner city area. Founded in 1959 we have grown from small beginnings in Osborne Park, moving to grounds in what is now Hasler Avenue, then Carine Open Space to our present grounds in Jon Sanders Drive in 1989. We are proud to think that our beautiful lakeside setting is one of the best in Perth. The Club has always been a combination of Pony Club for children and Adult Riding Club, all our gymkhanas are "Open" and all riders are always welcome to come and enjoy their sport with us. We pride ourselves in being a true family club and are not affiliated with the EFA meaning that anyone can ride at our gymkhanas( as long as they have a horse to ride !!) Our Pony Club riders have always been extremely active and competitive in spite of their relatively small numbers, often bringing home the honours from events they have competed in against other larger Pony Clubs. Our rallies are extremely educational and thoroughly enjoyed by the children. The clubhouse on our grounds was completed in 1989 and various fund raising activities have since enable us to construct an equipment shed, wash bays, swabbing box and measuring bay. The
club has also been the host for International Showjumping and Riding for the Disabled,
receiving the "Gold Service Award for Community Service" in 1994 for
our contribution to children's sport via the Pony Club and community service via
Riding for the Disabled and running the horse events at the Osborne Park Annual
