The United States Pony Club:
One of the leading junior equestrian organizations in the world! The United States alone has over 12,000 members.
Our national organization, United States Pony Club, provides opportunities for instruction in English riding, horse sports, and horse management for children and young adults up to 25 years of age.
The term "pony" reflects the age of the members, rather than the size of the mount. Horses and ponies of many different breeds, shapes, and sizes are seen in Pony Club activities
