who wanted to learn through pony club.

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.
