Pony Club is
one of the leading junior equestrian organizations in the world,
represented throughout 30 countries! The United States
has over 600
individual Clubs spread throughout 48 states
and
the Virgin Islands, with more than 12,000 members in 44 regions.
It is not necessary for a
child to own a horse or pony, but they must have access to one when
required. Programs are offered in dressage, eventing, show jumping,
mounted games, tetrathlon, quiz, vaulting, foxhunting, and polocrosse.
During
"unmounted" meetings members learn
about
feeding, shoeing, veterinary care, and other areas of horse management.
Under adult supervision, the more experienced
pony Club members instruct
and assist younger members.
THE
USPC MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of The United States Pony Clubs, Inc.
(USPC) is to provide a program for youth which teaches riding, mounted
sports, and the care of horses and ponies, thereby developing
responsibility, moral judgment, leadership, and self-confidence.
