Canberra Riding Club Pony Club

CRC Pony Club is one of over 800 clubs across the country that encourages a love of horses and riding in families with access to a horse or pony. We provide our members monthly instructional days and other training activities with our experienced instructors covering all types of riding disciplines and horse care. Our club has supported members to excel in many disciplines including hacking, mount

ed games and eventing with CRC riders representing at national and international level. We have excellent club grounds and facilities nestled in the inner-north of Canberra including a spacious clubhouse, toilet block, day yards, two sand pads, and ample grassed riding area. We have a great range of gear to use for training showjumping, mounted games, cross country, dressage and much more. We are one of the only clubs to offer agistment, with 10 of our active members’ horses living on the club grounds in Lyneham. And most importantly, our club is a friendly and welcoming community of families and volunteers who love their horses and learning. We look after each other at training and competitions and are proud to be seen out and about in our red & gold uniforms – Go TeamCRC! Membership
Our club supports families in and around Canberra who own or borrow a horse or pony. Our members keep their horses in territory agistment paddocks, privately or on our club grounds. Annual membership starts from $245 for a rider and one parent and includes free monthly instruction and access to regional pony club competitions, trainings, camps and other opportunities. Membership is open to anyone who is not considered a 'professional' under the Association rules and is divided into three categories:
 Junior members under 17 years of age,
 Associate members 17 years of age and under 25 years of age, and
 Senior Members 25 years and over. Senior members can join as riding members however local training and competitions that allow adult riders to participate remain limited. Whilst riding members can be over 25, at present our riding activities are focused on riders under the age of 25. If you are interested joining, we encourage you to attend one of our monthly rally days, please contact our Senior Instructor to organise this: [email protected]. Our grounds

Nestled in the inner-north of Canberra, the CRC Pony Club grounds are one of the most central equestrian grounds. On the corner of Barton Highway and Randwick Road in Lyneham we are only 11 minutes from the CBD and 5 minutes to Kaleen and Hackett territory agistment paddocks. We have a spacious clubhouse, toilet block, day yards, two sand pads, and a generous grassed riding area. Our grounds provide a home to 10 of our members’ horses and can be booked by other equestrian groups and instructors’ training and events. We are pleased to host Southern Tablelands & ACT Working Equitation’s activities at our grounds. We welcome ground booking enquiries from local equestrian groups and coaches. Please contact our ground booking manager to discuss whether we can assist: [email protected]. Agistment
Our grounds are home to 10 of our members’ horses. Agistment applications are open to active members of CRC Pony Club only.

Pony Clubs are proudly volunteer-run. Every lesson, event, working bee and rally day is made possible by the dedication of volunteers.

At CRC, none of our committee members, coaches, helpers or supporters are paid for the countless hours they give. Their passion, time and commitment are what keep our club thriving.

This week, we’d like to recognise and thank the amazing volunteers who make our club possible. From our coaches, executive committee, event organisers and grounds managers, to canteen volunteers, fundraisers, gear movers and behind the scenes helpers, every contribution matters.

National Volunteer Week 2026 celebrates the commitment of current volunteers and invites everyone to discover how giving their time and talents can spark joy, and a deep sense of purpose.

Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the people whose generosity, kindness and hard work make CRC such a special place.

Thank you to every volunteer - we couldn’t do it without you 💛❤️

Pictured here are just some of the award winners at the CRC Pony Club Gala which is now done and dusted for another year!!

❤️💛❤️

This event celebrates versatility with competitors taking part in dressage, sporting and showjumping, including the introduction of 6 bar this year.

We had representation from across Zone 16 and much further afield!

Across the day we saw smiles, cheers, fears confronted, first times, goals achieved and outstanding performances.

The highest scoring combinations won embroidered saddlecloths and bridle bags thanks to our generous sponsors.

We congratulate riders on getting out there, trying new things and displaying great sportsmanship.

It's impossible to name everyone, so we say a big thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible. So many people have worked so hard to make it happen. A special shout out to this year's core Gala Committee Michelle, Janine and Franny.

Thank you all for coming and see you next year!
