The Pony Club

The Pony Club is the starting point for any young person, under the age of 25, who wants to learn how to ride and care for horses and ponies. Membership offers a range of benefits, including training in how to both care for and ride a pony correctly, reinforced by Members taking tests, earning achievement badges, competing individually and in teams; and most importantly making friends and having fun - you dont need to have your own pony to join! Founded in 1929, The Pony Club now runs across 340 Branches and over 550 Centres in the UK alone, encompassing near 40,000 Members. The Pony Clubs objectives are; To encourage young people to ride and to learn to enjoy all kinds of sport connected with ponies and riding. To give instruction in riding and horsemastership and to educate Members to look after and to take proper care of their animals. To promote the highest ideals of sportsmanship, citizenship and loyalty and to create strength of character and self-discipline
