Truganina Pony Club hosted its 65th anniversary reunion on Saturday, February 19.
More than 100 people attended the event.
President Ronnie Graham, who joined the club as a child along with his siblings in 1976, said its members “were like one family”.
Mr Graham said the club began in the paddocks opposite Clarendon St, West Footscray in 1956.
Known as the Braybrook Pony Club at the time, a couple of years later it moved to a paddock in Woods Road.
About 1959-60, the club moved south to another location on Woods Road, where it is still based today.
Nowadays, the club runs a Ready to Ride program for youngsters who are interested in horses but don’t own one, so they can learn about the basics of horse care and riding.
