What is Pony Club All About?
Pony Club is the entry point to the world of safe, knowledgeable horsemanship. Combining hands-on exposure and theory education, PC offers the opportunity to develop strong equestrian and life skills in a fun, social environment with like-minded friends.
While "feeding the need" for horses, our members will have experiences that build Loyalty, Character and Sportsmanship, as well as developing skills like teamwork, leadership, healthy interpersonal communication, respect for authority, organization, personal discipline, compassion and goal setting. Pony Club prepares youth not only for good horsemanship but also offers the environment to become capable and productive citizens. At its higher levels, PC offers kids the opportunity to travel both nationally and internationally in their sport as ambassadors for their clubs and Canada, broadening their worldview and creating global citizens with friendships spanning the world.
Whether your goal is competitive or simply fun with horses, Pony Club's group learning based program will offer the support and encouragement of others while providing introduction to the major horse sports (Jumping, Dressage, Eventing,Games) and to solid horsecare education, preparing your child to pursue any path they choose into successful equestrianism.
Pony Club, through its partnering with local barns and stables, makes horsemanship accessible. Whether you are already a horse owner seeking to improve your skills and knowledge, a horsecrazy youth or a parent looking for opportunities foryour horsecrazy child to interact with horses, Pony Club is for you.
