The Belvoir branch of the Pony Club is a large, friendly and active branch of the Pony Club, covering a large part of the East Midlands including the counties of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Rutland.
We have nearly 130 members aged 3-25, who are based across a large area ranging from around Grantham, South west to Melton Mowbray, the Vale of Belvoir and out east to Sleaford, Spalding and the fens.
We are run by a friendly and hard working committee of volunteers, headed by our District Commissioner: Tessa Buckley. We organise rallies, events and competitions to help introduce our members to different equestrian sports like Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing, Tetrathlon, Racing and Endurance.
Our friendly training sessions are organised for different age groups and we are lucky to have access to some fantastic coaches to help our riders improve and get the best out of their riding. We also hold treasure hunts, stable management sessions, run training for for pony club tests and also teach our members about stable management and pony care through our Pony Club badges programme.
We have a very successful track record competing at regional Area (County) qualifiers and National level each year, giving great experience to members who are looking for the opportunity to compete at a higher level.
Over the summer, we run Pony Club camps in fantastic locations such as Buckminster Park, Aylesford and Honington Grange for Mini (3-7), Junior (8-10) Senior (11-16) and 16+ age groups.
