The Pony Club Achievement Badge Programme
The Pony Club has a wide selection of badges that can be attained, ranging from grooming to camping, beach riding to countryside access. There are over 130 badges to collect which are available divided into four levels (mini, achievement, advanced and sport badges) and organised into three collections (Fun & Friendship,Horsemanship and Sport). A cloth badge is awarded once a member has met the required standard for the badge which can be sewn onto the PC sweatshirt.
The three levels of achievement badges cover a variety of individual topics related to horses and riding and are aimed at different ages and experiences at follows:
- Mini Achievement Badges – these are aimed at younger members training up to D+ level. They are smaller than the other badges and have a purple border. They are an introduction to the topics covered in the Achievement badges and can be a fun addition to rallies.
- Achievement Badges – these are aimed at junior members at D+ to C+ level. They have a navy blue border. When you have collected 21 of these badges you are awarded the Gold Achievement Badge.
- Advanced Achievement Badges – these are for our senior members and cover topics required for C+ to A test. They have a gold border.
There are also a series of special sport badges to collect. These badges are designed to give members an introduction to the wide variety of sports that The Pony Club has to offer. Each badge has two levels, an intro badge, aimed at younger members, and a more advanced badge for older members. Each badge covers rules, dress and technique for the specific sport.
A record of your achievement badges gained can be viewed on your membership portal. The full list of badges is available on The Pony Club Website
