Matakana PC Adult Ride

Matakana Pony Club runs an Adult Ride all year round: 9 - 10 am every Wednesday.

The group is a fun and informal bunch, loving our group lessons, casual beach/forest rides and weekend camp which you can mix and match to fit in with your riding routine.

We still have spaces on our 'Pony Care & Confidence' Programme, startind 14th October! Learn the basics of grooming, pony care, and general horse management, along with identifying key parts of the pony and tack, and how to safely lead a pony - all while enjoying a range of fun activities. It's a great opportunity for young pony mad kids - https://www.matakanaponyclub.co.nz/ponycare

Adult Ride goes throughout the year. If you know of anyone interested, send them along for a snag and chat at our open morning on Sunday. Kim really keeps us all fit, after 3 weeks off I was exhausted this morning lol!

OK guys, we all ride here. This is such an opportunity to contribute to a shared trail which we can mix and match where we go. If we get in now with submissions, we have a chance to include horses. Sit back, and maybe not so. I know these 'Have your Say' and submissions are frequent, but if we don't spent those few minutes every time, we miss out. And we all love Whangateau ......

A community-led vision for restoration and connection

It's been a while since we posted despite having our weekly lessons with Kim and fortnightly (or more) with Jo throughout Winter. Today was great fun at Matakana Country Park - the jumps went down a wee bit for us (!) and it was fab having a lesson somewhere new with spooky corners and plenty of distractions. Jo will be doing another one there next Friday (31st July) if anyone wants to join a session - comment on the MPC Jo chat :)

And another year that will be fun - why do Naomi Marshall and I do this without our kids there and share our horses? Small club, big heart. Happy horses, happy riders. If you have a horse you think you can loan once a week for rally (Wednesday 5.30 Sept - April), please consider this option and give kids without a horse an opportunity - I guarantee you, the smiles from everyone is worth it!

Hi guys - the more people that feed back, the greater our voice. It really only takes a few minutes and MEAG have given suggested answers :)

Local board plans are open for consultation until Thursday 23 July 2026. Unfortunately, horses have only been mentioned on multi-use parks page 12 (where applicable) and perhaps not a significant part of the community despite having one of the highest equestrian numbers in the country.
As MEAG, we have already completed a questionnaire, presented and liased with the Regional Parks, Local Board - all are super positive towards horses. But the plan does not reflect this. We are volunteers, so feedback from you is very appreciated to help us!
We encourage you to take part in the ‘Have Your Say’ survey and make our Equestrian voices heard - it will take you around 5 mins.
There will be more times later to step up for further feedback - but let them hear us now, more people, more sports and definitely more equestrians.
