On the 16 March the inaugral meeting was held and the Kaiapoi Pony Club officially began as a branch of the Christchurch Pony Club. The main founding members were Morwenna Power (nee Allin), Robyn Monopoli (nee Anderson), Annette McMillan (nee Moore). Fortnightly rallies were first held on the property of Mr D B C Allin. The first jumping show was held on the 23 September at the Yaldhurst grounds (home of the Christchurch Pony Club). September has continued to be the month for KPC's jumping show day. Some of the prominent early members were the Allin, Cox, Cooke, Blackadder, Forde, Topp, Carroll, Moore, Storer, Begg, Hyslop, Johnston and Ballantine families. Everybody in the families pitched in and helped at all events and of course, there was always a party at the end of the day.

Kaiapoi's first jumping show was held at Forest Ford, Kaiapoi (now covered with Northern Motorway) with a total prize pool of £50-60. Kaiapoi was the first club to ever offer prize money

Rallies were now held at Mr and Mrs Moore's property. Our jumping show was also held at the Moore's property. The Fleetwing Challenge Cup was first presented for Most Points in Pony Jumping. Pony club colours were a white shirt and black tie.

A one day event was held at Mr Allin's property. The uniform now included a yellow jersey.

The one day event was then held at Mr F Moody's property near Pineacres on Main North Road. Many enjoyable Pony Club treks were had riding out from Kaiapoi. Great times were also had at the Fleming's property, Mount Grey Downs with evenings spent around a huge camp fire listening to the music of Cliff Storer's button accordion

The jersey colour was changed to orange.
