After 50+ years in the Greater Green Island, Saddleview Pony Club is calling it a day.

We are holding a farewell event at the Village Green on Thursday 20th November at 7pm.

This is for the friends and former members of Saddleview/Fernhill Pony Club that made a positive difference to SVPC's story. We would love to see you there, whether for 10 minutes or 1 hour.

Nibbles will be provided and for catering purposes can you please reply to [email protected] by Tuesday 18th November.

Thank you
SVPC Committee

Congratulations to Brooke on passing her D+ certificate exam and to Olivia on passing her D certificate exam today. These girls have worked really hard, revising and practicing their riding and horse management skills all season and over the last couple of months since pony club rallies finished and it paid off today! Thank you to Dale Lovett for coming and examining these girls, we always enjoy having you come along. Holding this at the Dunedin RDA grounds, was a great idea, as we were tucked away from the worst of the wind and with a cover over the arena in case it rained. Thank you to all the coaches who played a part, whether big or small with these riders in encouraging them and coaching them. Proud to be Saddleview. Proud coach here!

Trophy day 28/4/23 - The sun shone brilliantly and while the competition was small in numbers, it was big in comradery and fun. Our riders rode all morning with smiles on their dials, rode sympathetically with their mounts, looked after their ponies, shared laughs and gave each other moral support - what more could you want from kids at pony club. Thanks to Chris, Louise, Su, Lyn and Tania for coming along to help us out. We finished our 'day' with a leisurely sit in the sun with a bbq lunch and had a few giggles and soaked up the rays. Proud to be Saddleview

Easter Rally 2/4/24 - Last night we had our final evening rally at our ground for the season. The nights are closing in and daylight savings finishes this weekend. We are hoping to hold a few 'get togethers' at a suitable arena over the next month and a few unmounted rallies in preparation for some riders going forward for their D and D+ exams in May. Nicki and Kathy both had a small group which they took around two stations. Station one - polework - working on rhythm, rider position - especially hands allowing forward over poles, turns, straight approaches and departures and holding a straight line. Some riders also did some canter pole work, using the poles to assist with changing leads when changing direction. In the flatwork area riders worked on transitions and the aids for them and a session on leading a pony and turning. As it was easter we had some cool dress ups, complete with a mad hatter and we finished with an easter themed obstacle/games competition complete with easter mug shuffle, riders jumping with egg and spoon, bunny hoop throw, the great bunny shoot and speed dressing and egg eating. Lots of fun all round. Pony pals Brooke and Isabel have been riding to gether to pony club and last night had their high viz on to ride home in the dusky light. Proud to be Saddleview

Rally 26/3/24 - Our 3 riders got lots of one-on-one and targeted coaching with Erin taking polework/jumping and Misty taking games/obstacle skills. Riders with Erin worked on rhythm, their jumping position, straight approaches and departures. In the obstacles games rotation, Misty helped riders with handling of equipment, coordination and general games/riding skills. All three ponies enjoyed having a play around with the hoofball. Thanks to Megan Meade our Dunedin District Chief Coach for coming along to have a look at how our 'little (in numbers)' rally went. Proud to be Saddleview.
