RIDERS COUNCIL

NZPCA RIDERS COUNCIL

The NZPCA Riders Council is a voice for our young members, representing riders' interests and bringing fresh ideas to the organisation.

Open to youth under 25, the Council offers a platform to influence decision-making and contribute to the growth of Pony Club in New Zealand. Through regular meetings and active involvement, members develop leadership skills, gain valuable insights, and help shape the future of NZPCA for riders nationwide.
