The Lower Plenty Pony Club (LPPC) is part of the Northern Metropolitan Zone of the Pony Club Association of Victoria (PCAV).
It is an incorporated organisation under the Association Incorporation Act 1981. As such LPPC is required to meet certain standards regarding membership, fees and voting rights.
LPPC is a pony club with a couple of differences.
Firstly, unlike most clubs, we agist members’ horses on the premises allowing members the convenience of accessing facilities and equipment, and attending Rallies, at the same location where their horse resides. Horses are agisted in either mob paddock or in “mini mob” paddocks (for horses with special needs). Note: There are no Private Agistment paddocks available at the Club.
Secondly, our focus is on the care and safety of member riders and the horses located at the Club and in our charge. The premises are attended from Monday to Friday by paid staff who check the horses twice daily, paddock fencing once per day and feed horses as required. Staff are on duty each working day and on weekends a roster system of member families operates.
The LPPC Committee of Management oversees operations and is elected each year with position holders taking on a two year assignment. Membership of the Committee is voluntary.
