The Silverdale Pony Club was formed in 1969 on the grounds behind the Silverdale Rugby Club. In 1998 the grounds were lost to make way for the motorway extension. The Club used a members small farm for a season to keep it running until suitable grounds were found.
In 2000, the Holdaway family offered the club to move to their farm on Green Road and, including the period after the sale of the property to the Council, has remained there for more than 15 years.
Over the years, the Silverdale club has been recognised as a family orientated club, focused on offering families a fun and relaxed environment to learn and grow their knowledge and experience with horses.
The pony club season runs through the months of daylight savings and during this period we hold weekly mounted rallies on Tuesday nights. Members are able to use the grounds during the week and weekends until they are closed for winter.
