The Alberta North Region (ANR) is one of the 12 Regions of the Canadian Pony Club.
Our region includes the portion of Alberta lying north of a line roughly half way between Red Deer and Edmonton.
The “grass roots” of the Canadian Pony Club are the local branches. Each branch runs its own education and instruction program, and puts on competitions.
The local branches are organized geographically into Regions, of which there are 13 across Canada. The Regions are responsible for overseeing the operations of every branch in their area. They also provide help with education and other activities which may be beyond the resources of some individual branches.
Each Region sets their own fees to support its operation. These fees vary depending on the services included.
The Region organizes events that are open to all branch members in the region. These activities include clinics, education and competitions in different disciplines such as Dressage, Prince Philip Games, Quiz, Rally, Show Jumping, and Tetrathlon. More information on each of these activities can be found under the tab ‘disciplines’ at the top of the page.
The Alberta North Region was created on April 1, 2000 as one of three new regions born when the former very large Alberta Region was divided in order to be able to address members’ needs better.
All of our members are also members of the Alberta Equestrian Federation which we strongly support.
