We are a Pony Club Centre, and regularly run Pony Club activities throughout the year.
The Pony Club is a charitable organisation that has over 100,000 members around the world. As a Centre, we enable children who do not
have their own ponies to take part in similar activities to those who do. Membership is open to anyone under the age of 21 who wishes
to learn more about riding and horse care. An annual subscription is paid to the Pony Club, which includes Third party insurance.
The objectives of the Pony Club are:
- To encourage young people to ride and to learn to enjoy all kinds of sport connected with horses and riding.
- To provide instruction in riding and horsemanship and to instil in Members the proper care of their animals.
- To promote the highest ideals of sportsmanship, citizenship and loyalty, thereby cultivating strength of character and self-discipline.
Our Pony Club has over 120 members, grouped according to age and ability and ranging from 6 years to 21 years old. Pony Club
activities run regularly throughout the year, and include rally days, short courses, visits to places of interest such as our local
Equine Hospital, competitions, gymkhanas, polocrosse sessions and even a Christmas party! We produce a termly newsletter and events
programme to help keep everyone up to date. Each member will also work their way through the Pony Club tests and Achievement badges,
thus keeping a record of their progress as they learn more about horses and riding.
For our younger members we are now running a weekly 'Junior Pony Club', with members starting to work through their Mini Achievement
Badges and Bronze Awards. Junior PC is for children who are off the lead rein and are learning to canter.
Our older members can be seen out and about regularly competing for MRS in dressage and polocrosse.
If you are interested in joining the Pony Club please speak to Anna at Reception for more information.
Please note that all Pony Club sessions must be booked in advance. We cannot accommodate any member who arrives without prior booking, and Pony Club
membership MUST be up-to-date to participate in all activities.
