Questions
​
WHAT AGES IS PONY CLUB FOR? Pony Club is for
ages 6 - 25 years, although in recent years a
Horse Masters program was developed for adults
who wanted to learn through pony club.
​
WHAT COSTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PONY CLUB?
For the 2019 year the cost of Pony Club is $160 to
Manitoba Pony Club, and $50 operating fee to
Prairie Breeze Stables. Members are also required
to have a Manitoba Horse Council Membership
which costs approx. $50 for a youth membership.
​
WHEN DOES PONY CLUB MEET? Our club has regular
meetings every other Sunday from 1:00 - 4:00 pm
through out the year. We do not expect everyone
to be able to attend all meetings!
​
WHAT EQUIPMENT DOES MY CHILD NEED? For Pony Club please make sure that your child has a good pair of paddock boots (black or brown) and a pair of half chaps (black or brown) and most importantly a properly fitted helmet (SEI/ASTM Certified). Riding breeches can be purchased at may local stores, and we have a supply of used clothing that other members have grown out of that is available to everyone. Other equipment needed will include a grooming kit, although members may use the grooming tools owned by the barn until they are able to get a kit together.
​
WHAT IS TESTING AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Members are able to test each level within Pony Club. Each level includes a written test, a practical stable management test and a riding test. Each level has required criteria that the member must meet in order to pass. Members are encouraged to progress at their own speed, and testing is NOT mandatory.
