BHPC Facilities

BHPC occupies and uses the clubhouse and canteen, and the Brookfield Showgrounds for Musters, this includes the use of the Long Yard (full sand dressage arena), the stables, yards and toilet facilities. BHPC also enjoys a permit from the Brisbane City Council to use the Brookfield Recreation Reserve and has been granted a lease by the BCC over the Rita O’Hanlon Arena (double size full sand dressage arena). The Reserve is 10 acres of open space with a great cross country course up through the trees, and a nice place for a trail ride to cool down at the end of a busy Muster.

These wonderful facilities can be used by members of the pony club at any time outside of Muster days. However, remember to book if you want to use the arenas and please read the Conditions of Use.
