Come and Join Us!
Dural Pony Club welcomes new members of all levels - from beginners on a lead rein to advanced riders who own or lease their horse or pony. Two legged visitors are welcome to come to our rally days (1st and 3rd Sundays of the month) to see what we do.
The pony club holds a membership registration day before the first rally day of the year. We also welcome new members to join throughout the year and this can be organised by contacting our registration secretary.
