Cockatoo & District Pony Club (Cockatoo)

Cockatoo & District Pony Club caters for young people and adults aged 5 and over who enjoy the benefits of being part of a community where old and young share their passion for horses. Cockatoo & District Pony Club aims to develop and enhance the relationship between horse and rider in a safe and secure environment. Monthly rallies are held on the third Sunday of the month where riders are instructed in the care of their horse as well as the finer points of dressage, show jumping, eventing and games.

The Cockatoo & District Pony Club Committee hold monthly meetings on the 4th Monday of each month.

Cockatoo & District Pony Club is a friendly club with a membership of approximately 35 riders. Our grounds are located at Josie Bysouth Reserve, Cockatoo. The primary activity of membership is the club rally.

The Rally day is held on the third Sunday of each month unless otherwise notified (other than January) and runs from 9.30am - 3.30pm. Rallies are run with morning flatwork group lessons, lunchtime meeting, and afternoon activities sessions including Showjumping, Cross Country, Games, Handimount and Jumping Lane.

The club is run by a committee of parent volunteers. We have a group of experienced instructors regularly attending rallies to provide instruction to the riders. In addition we have visiting instructors in specialist areas from time to time.

Membership provides access to all pony club activities. It permits the member to compete in any pony club rings at competitions held throughout the state. Attendance at rallies has a direct impact on eligibility to compete. Membership entails certain responsibilities on the part of parents. In particular, parents (or a nominated adult) must always be in attendance on Rally day, be willing and prepared to assist with, "set up"/"pack up" at Rallies and club events. A duty roster is compiled for each year, with each family expected to complete three duties per year.
