About Pony Club
The Pony Club started in Great Britain in 1928 with 700 members. The
United States joined the program in 1954. By 1992 there were more than
130,000 members in 31 countries, making it the largest equestrian group
in the world.
Today, the United States Pony Clubs have more than 12,000 members and
more than 600 clubs throughout the United States. The USPC founders were
enthusiastic foxhunters who recognized the need for an organization to
provide sound instruction for all interested children, especially those
who otherwise could not afford expensive lessons.
The mission of the United States Pony Clubs is to provide a program for
youth that teaches riding, mounted sports, and the care of horses and
ponies, thereby developing responsibility, oral judgment, leadership and
self confidence.
