Our Club

We wish to welcome you to the Calliope Hack and Pony Club.

Our prime consideration is to maintain a friendly atmosphere and ensure our junior, associate and senior members are encouraged to participate in all aspects of this pony club and have the opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills to enjoy their love of horses.
