- We are proud to be one of the friendliest branches around. Everyone is encouraged to join in activities whatever your age, ability or particular interest.

What We Do……..
Our branch year is jam packed with activities, which should include something for everyone, whether you are an ambitious competitive rider or simply want to have some fun whilst improving your riding and pony care skills.
Rallies
The most important , regular activity are working rallies, which take palce throughout the year. Some are mounted, where you will receive riding instruction, usually in small groups
others are dismounted, you will leave your pony at home but come along to learn more about pony care
Tests and Badges
You’ll have the chance to work towards a range of achievement badges linked to horses and the countryside. You’ll also be encouraged and supported to polish your riding and care skills to work up through the highly respected Pony Club Tests.
Competitions and training
We organise our own show and competitions for members of all abilities. In addition we have active training programmes in all the disciplines shown in the links on the left of this page. Our team compete at branch and area level.
Camp
The Highlight of the year. A week of non stop riding and fun tailored to suit you ability level. Members sleep over at Chepstow Race Course, or there is a day camp option for the younger members.
Getting together
Now and again we just get together sometimes mounted, like our annual Christmas ride, other times just to have some fun at a quiz night, ceilidh or trip.
