Pony racing mirrors the Horse Racing you see on the television. Held on licenced racecourses across the UK (such as Ascot and Cheltenham), pony racing allows Pony Club members to experience the thrill and experience of racing – but on ponies!<\/p>\n

Members wishing to give pony racing a go must be aged 9 years old on 1st January (in the current calendar year) and can race up until the day of their 17th birthday.
\nThe ponies taking part must be aged between 5 and 20 years old and be fit and sound to race. They must also measure no more than 148cm.<\/p>\n

The Pony Club works closely with The Pony Racing Authority (PRA), pony racing\u2019s governing body, to provide young people with opportunities to race in point-to-point and the Racecourse Series.<\/p>\n
