Volunteering is a great way for older members to become more involved in the branch, support younger riders and gain valuable experience. It also provides opportunities to work towards both the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Bronze Volunteering Section and the Pony Club Young Equestrian Leaders Award (YELA) Bronze Award.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Our volunteer programme is open to members aged 13 and over and aims to provide structured opportunities to develop confidence, responsibility and practical leadership skills while supporting branch activities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
