Like many other Pony Club branches, our branch is named after the hunt pack whose country cover the area where our members live. It still keeps strong links with the Curre & Llangibby Hunt.
Our branch was founded in 1958. Amongst its former members include top international showjumpers Mary Broome and Liz Edgar, current junior showjumping European team silver medallist James Winter, professional dressage rider Ellen Glover and eventer Alex Holman.
We are in Pony Club Area 10, which covers South Wales and the Borders and regularly compete with other branches in the area.
We are proud to be one of the friendliest branches around. Everyone is encouraged to join in the full range of Pony Club activities. We encourage parents and guardians to get involved and are pleased to give help and advice.
What we do…
Our branch year is jam-packed with activities which include something for everyone, whether you are an ambitious competitive rider or simply want to have some fun whilst improving your riding and pony care skills.
Rallies
The most important regular activities are monthly rallies and training, which take place throughout the year. Everyone, whatever your age or ability, are welcome. Most rallies involve both riding instruction and horse & pony care learning. They all involve LOTS OF FUN with your horse or pony and your FRIENDS.
Tests and badges
You’ll have the chance to work towards a range of achievement badges linked to horses, lifestyle and the countryside. You’ll also be encouraged and supported to polish your riding and care skills to work up through the highly-respected Pony Club tests.
Competitions and training
We organise our own competitions for members of all abilities. In addition we have active training programmes in all the sports shown in the link on the left of this page. Despite only being a relatively small club, our teams compete successfully at inter-branch, Area and National level.
Camp
Camp is the highlight of the year for many of our members! A week of non-stop riding and fun with friends, tailored to suit your level. Seniors can also go to their own tailored residential training camp along with teens from other branches in our area.
