The Essex and Suffolk Branch was established in 1939 and is part of Pony Club Area 8. We are a thriving Pony Club with around 120 members, aged between 5 and 21, who come from a large area covering the Tendring Peninsula, the Colchester area and South Suffolk.<\/p>\n

Our aim is for members to have fun, make new friends, improve riding skills and horsecare and have the opportunity to take part in teams and competitions.<\/p>\n

We provide a full programme of activities for all abilities throughout the year including:Mounted and dismounted ralliesSpecialised training clinicsSocial events\u00a0Competitions<\/p>\n

One of the highlights in our calendar is Summer Camp which we hold for three age groups:<\/p>\n

– Minnows Camp for 5 and 6 year olds<\/p>\n

– Minicamp for 7-10 year olds<\/p>\n

– Big Camp for the over 11s.<\/p>\n

All members are encouraged to aim for the various Pony Club tests and badges, as well as our very successful Inter-Branch and Area Teams.<\/p>\n

Each year we run several competitions for all abilities, in disciplines such as showing, showjumping, hunter trials, one day events, dressage, combined training, tetrathlon and Prince Philip Cup friendlies.<\/p>\n

Our branch is run by a Committee of members\u2019 parents and we are entirely dependent on volunteers, so your support is needed for the successful running of the Club.<\/p>\n \r\n
