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 offering the opportunity to participate in our nine sports, competing individually and in teams, training in how to both care for and ride a pony correctly, reinforced by Members taking tests, learning achievement badges, and most importantly making friends and having fun - you don't need to have your own pony to join! Founded in 1929, The Pony Club now runs across 330 Branches and over 400 Centres in the UK alone, encompassing more than 30,000 Members.
