The Pony Club’s purpose is:

• To encourage young people to learn to enjoy all kinds of sport connected with ponies and riding
• To give instruction in riding and horsemanship and to educate Members to look after and take proper care of their animals
• To promote the highest levels of sportsmanship, citizenship and loyalty to create strength of character and self-discipline

The Pony Club is a volunteer organisation and depends on parents and guardians to help. Fairness should take precedence over competitiveness. Teaching by example will foster caring and respect for all.

Parents play a vital role in their child’s Pony Club journey – from supporting and guiding their progress, to volunteering at local events. The following guidelines should be followed by parents/guardians:

• be a positive role model for your child and other members
• respect coaches, officials, volunteers, members and other parents
• remember that the main aim of The Pony Club is to teach fairness over competitiveness
• teach members to show sportsmanship, teamwork and supportiveness
• use approriate conduct at all times, including on social media channels
• promote the wellbeing of members and their ponies ahead of winning
