Welcome to the South Australian Harness Racing Pony Association
We offer pony racing to children from 6 years up until the age of 16 years. SAHRPA race at all tracks around South Australia, including Globe Derby Park, Gawler, Port Pirie, Mount Gambier, Kapunda and Victor Harbor. The pony season starts in October and runs through to April each year.
