The Brocklesby Branch was established in 1944 and has members ranging in age from 4 to 23 years old. We are an active and friendly Pony Club branch. Throughout the year we run a series of rallies (group lessons), competitions and other activities to suit all levels and interests. Rallies cover all aspects of pony care and riding. We work hard to find the very best instructors and by keeping our costs to the minimum our members can access first-class tuition at very reasonable prices. Rallies are also very social events where like-minded youngsters forge lasting friendships.
At the start of the summer holidays we hold 2 summer camps for members and their ponies where as many members as possible take part in fun and learning. Juniors stay for 3 days and 2 nights, and Seniors stay for 4 days and 3 nights. We also have a non residential camp for the little ones!
Inter-branch competitions for all ages and abilities provide superb opportunities for Pony Club members to indulge their passions for dressage, tetrathlon, mounted games, show jumping and the excitement of riding fast across country. We put considerable effort into producing well built, varied and exciting cross country and show jumping courses and beautiful dressage arenas.
The first line of communication with members is via email, facebook and this website.
Members provide an email address for whichever parent/carer is primarily responsible for involvement with the pony club. More email addresses can be added if more than person would like to keep up to date with pony club news, or if members would like to receive emails direct, in addition to their parent/carer. We also have a Facebook page for keeping our members up to date with what’s happening. Please add yourselves to that here – Brocklesby Pony Club Facebook Group
There lots to be excited about becoming a new member of the pony club, lots to learn, new friends to make…. There is also a lot to take in about what to wear, how the rallies and competitions work, etc. Please ask any questions, big or small – everyone was a new member once!
