We are located at Castle Hill in the north western part of Sydney and have approximately 14 acres of land for riding and activities.
Many people who visit our club or attend Zone events (which are regularly held at on our grounds) admire our club and facilities. This is something we are very proud of and it has been achieved by a lot of hard work by our members, or should I say the Mums and Dads of our junior members over many years.

We have a main fenced arena large enough for five ménages in comfort, two others for show jumping and games, a beautiful cross country course able to run One Day Events, a club house and canteen, toilet and shower facilities, covered stables, picnic and camping areas, ample parking and much much more.

All of this is put to good use by the Hills District Pony Club for rally days but it is also shared and enjoyed by many others groups for open gymkhanas and horse shows, dressage competitions, show jumping, and the annual Jamboree for our Zone.

Whilst we love our grounds, it is our members and love of horse riding that makes our Club so special. We have many second-generation riders and third generation members who turn up regularly on the 1st the 3rd Sunday of each month and have a great time.

We are one of the smaller Sydney Pony Clubs but we are big on spirit, big on friendship and big on having fun and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
