Education is a cornerstone of Pony Club. It gives our members the knowledge and skills required to become successful equestrians in all aspects of horse care and riding. Whether you are an instructor, a member, a parent, sibling, or friend, Pony Club's educational resources include some of the most sought-after knowledge in the equine industry.
Members enjoy horses in a safe environment with exceptional instruction.
There is no limit to the amount of learning to be found in Pony Club. We offer organized, easy-to-understand lesson plans to help streamline member education, as well as equine education curriculum for programs that join as Riding Centers, world-class standards for certifications, instructional videos, knowledge on disciplines, and ways to make riding safe and FUN.
