PONY CLUB ACADEMY

Course Overview

NZ Pony Clubs is taking our motivated youth members (rangatahi) and bringing fun and training in a new style.

NZ Pony Clubs believe everyone should be able to access transformative learning and open the doors to opportunities.

It is the start of a pathway to head them in the direction of personal development - where someone is holding the rein. The Pony Club Academy enables our youth (tamariki and rangatahi) to grow into resilient, empathic and empowered leaders (tumu heregna waka).

Life is full of challenges and barriers that stop us from going where we want to go. Even limit us from believing we can get there. As a member, the Pony Club Academy can open your eyes in new directions to enable you to follow your passion. Launch opportunities to go further, with the equine industry growing in New Zealand and globally.

It offers more than just an exciting career opportunity for people who love working with horses. It also allows them to be a role model for others and continues to help them to make lifestyle choices.

The Pony Club Academy is designed for members:

  • who are becoming leaders in their own sport

  • who want a lifelong multifaceted sporting experience

  • to build their self-confidence through simple, sustainable habits

  • overcoming limiting beliefs or thinking patterns

  • to open opportunities within the equine industries, locally and globally

There are emerging opportunities for members to:

  • establish the foundations of coaching, or

  • learning the tools required in sports and event management

  • gain momentum on the athlete performance pathway
