Are you the owner of Glenelg Pony Club?
Welcome to the Glenelg Pony Club. Rallies are held on the first Sunday of every month.
The Glenelg Pony Club was founded in 1956 on the 26th April, at a public meeting in Coleraine. It was started by Mrs. Keira Foletta, who had moved from Melbourne to a property near Coleraine where her family had a taste of Pony Club. The first “rally” was held at the Coleraine Show Grounds (home of today's Coleraine Pony Club) during the May school holidays on Wednesday 23rd May, 1956.
It was planned as a fun day for the children, with games and some instruction in safety, care of gear and riding. The children who attended the first rally were between 5 and 15 years of age. The second rally was held at Coleraine on 23rd. June 1956.
There were three classes held with a number of new children attending. The third rally was on 21st July, 1956 at Wando Vale, where many more children attended and so the Glenelg Pony Club flourished.
