One of the main objectives of The Pony Club is to give instruction in riding and horsemastership and to educate Members to look after and to take proper care of horses and ponies.
Pony Club tests are recognised as a very valuable and thorough training and demonstration of knowledge and proficiency, well regarded in the equestrian world.
