\r\n District Commissioner <\/div>\r\n
\r\n I\u2019m proud to have grown up through North Down Pony Club, from grassroots rider to instructor and now a Pony Club mum. The branch has shaped my confidence, friendships and love for horses, and I\u2019m passionate about giving back.

Carolyn Muir<\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n Safeguarding Officer <\/div>\r\n
\r\n I recently joined the North Down Committee in a safeguarding role, bringing over 15 years\u2019 experience working in Primary Care and supporting the wellbeing of children and adults. My daughter Charlotte joined North Down Pony Club in 2023, and it has been wonderful to see the confidence, friendships and happiness horses have brought into her life. Seeing how much the branch has given her inspired me to give back, and I\u2019m proud to help ensure North Down remains a safe, supportive and welcoming place for every member and family. <\/div>\r\n

\r\n I was a North Down Pony Club Member as a child and went on to teach at Camps and Rallies in my early twenties. When my sons joined the North Down, I became more involved and joined the Committee. I have experience of Pony Club Eventing, Show Jumping, Dressage, Tetrathlon, Polo and even a bit of Pony Racing. My 2 sons finished Pony Club years ago, having a ball at Pony Club Polocrosse, and that is how I became Area 17 Polocrosse Coordinator. I am a British Horse Society Stage 4 Senior Coach in Complete Horsemanship and a Pony Club Assessor. I keep up to date with all things Pony Club and believe that our members benefit greatly in life from the lasting friendships they make through Pony Club activities and the bonds they form while learning to care for their ponies and horses. <\/div>\r\n
