Membership
There are a number of different types of riding members:
- Junior – under 17 years
- Senior/Associate – 17-25 years
- Adult– over 25 years
Adult riders may only ride at specified rally days. The information about the rally day in the registration system will identify these rally days.
There is also non-riding membership for parents/guardians who do not ride. All riders under 18 years of age must join with a parent/guardian as a member. This member must be on the grounds at all times with the junior members are in attendance.
All financial members 18 and over have voting rights.
Fees and Insurance
Each member pays an annual fee to belong to MPC. Discounts are available for families with two or more riders under 25 years.
The annual membership includes Pony Club NSW affiliation and insurance (riding or non-riding) fee, a Zone 16 rider fee, and a MPC family fee. Full details of the fee components are on the club’s fees page.
If you transfer to a different NSW club during the year, the fee you have already paid covers your membership of the new club.
My Pony Club
Each member is registered in the My Pony Club system, i.e. if you have one adult and two children as members of MPC, you will have three different My Pony Club IDs. However, all members in the family can be put into a family membership, enabling the family discount to be applied.
My Pony Club keeps a record of your membership, horse(s), certificates, WWCC, and events.
Active Kids
The NSW Active Kids voucher can be used for Pony Club membership. Apply for your voucher here and then send your voucher to murrumbatemanpc@gmail.com with the rider’s DOB and your account for the voucher to be applied and you to be reimbursed.
All members 18 years and over must have a Working with Children Certificate (WWCC). As volunteers, the WWCC is free. It is valid for 5 years.
You apply for your WWCC at the Kids Guardian website
Once you have your WWCC, email the certificate and your DOB to the club to be verified. You also need to log into My Pony Club and enter your WWCC number.
