About Wokingham

About Wokingham - Ros & MollieWokingham Branch of the Pony Club is a small, friendly club, which aims to cater for a wide range of young people from beginners on the lead rein right through to experienced competitive riders. 

 

We meet regularly throughout the year for Working Rallies and Training Rallies in Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing and Mounted Games.  From Easter school holidays until October half-term these Jade and Tizzyare held at our Pony Club field in Coombes Lane, off Bearwood Road, Barkham, Wokingham and during the winter months we use various indoor venues in the Wokingham area.  Our working rallies at the field are free of charge. 

 

As well as our Rallies and Training Sessions, we hold other fun competitions including Ride-a-Camp ZombiesTest Dressage teach-ins, Combined Training, Gymkhana, Pony Day and Superstars which run throughout the summer months and in August we hold our Pony Club Camp at BCA which provides Camps to suit all our members from the youngest to the oldest and is the best fun according to those who came last year!   Wokingham Pony Club really does have something for everyone, yet still retains that small club benefit where everyone knows each other!

We have a variety of instructors providing excellent training for all levels of rider and in all the disciplines. We encourage our members to complete the Pony Club Efficiency tests which aim to improve Polly SJboth their riding and horse and pony care skills. These range from D (the most elementary) up to A , the highest Pony Club award which is achieved by less than 20 members nationally each year. Our Chief Instructor is Sara Moss. Sara is a former Wokingham Pony Club Member and has been involved with the club as an instructor and trainer for many years. As well as her role as Chief Instructor, Sara works closely with our members on improving their flatwork skills, supported by Nicola Greenwood (Eventing Trainer) and Gemma Sayers (Show Jumping Trainer).  In addition we have a regular offering of “guest” instructors including Dressage rider Leah Beckett.
