Pony Racing

Pony Racing offers young riders a unique opportunity to race ponies on professional tracks, focusing on fun, learning, and accessibility.

It combines the thrill of riding on real racecourses with valuable lessons in horse health, riding techniques, and balance. Designed for both experienced riders and beginners, Pony Racing aims to build confidence and enhance skills while fostering a sense of community among Pony Club® members.

What Opportunities Do I Have?

Through Pony Racing, participants can enjoy a real racecourse experience, riding in a safe and controlled environment while developing essential skills such as balance and control. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, riders engage in activities that not only enhance their racing abilities but also teach important aspects of horse care.

This initiative encourages connection, allowing riders to meet like-minded peers, make new friends, and engage with mentors in the racing world. The highlight is the National Pony Racing Series—a joint initiative between Pony Club Australia and Thoroughbred Industry Careers—that provides exciting pathways for those interested in exploring potential careers in racing or simply trying something new.
