History

MDHPC is proud to be the first pony club in Victoria, and the oldest running pony club in Australia. We run our rallies on the first Sunday of every month at our beautiful grounds, tucked away at Eastfield Park.

We support riders at every stage, from newer riders building confidence to experienced riders refining technique.

New members are always welcome.
