"It is with great pleasure that the New Zealand Pony Clubs Association Inc. extends an invitation to attend the 25th Inter-Pacific Exchange Rally (50 years) to be held 1st May to 15th May, 2011.

You are invited to send a team of four riders, one Coach and one Team Manager. Teams will arrive at the Christchurch Airport by 1st May and depart from the Auckland Airport on 15th May. We have an exciting itinerary planned to celebrate the 25th Exchange (50 years) and details will be sent to each country in due course. Christchurch is situated in the South Island where the teams will spend a week sightseeing and participating in the scrambled teams’ event at McLeans Island (a local equestrian park). The second week will be spent in the North Island, also sightseeing and experiencing some Maori Culture in Rotorua culminating with the Nations Cup at the Kihikihi Equestrian Park followed by a formal dinner.
