WHAT WE DO

WHAT WE DO

NZPCA offers a structured certificate system that guides children and youth under 25 through all aspects of horsemanship.

From practical pony club rallies and tailored coaching to competitions, our programme builds skills in riding, horse care, and safety.

NZPCA provides a supportive environment for riders to develop their abilities, whether aiming for high-level competition or simply enjoying time with horses.
