The Pony Club is an international voluntary youth training organisation founded in 1929 and granted independent charitable status in 1997. There are around 345 branches in the UK and our branch is one of 20 across Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire that make up Area 9 of the Pony Club. OBHPC itself has a healthy membership of around 150, all taking advantage of an annual programme of training rallies and events across almost all disciplines including dressage, show jumping, eventing, polo, tetrathlon. We regularly host competitions that are open to members from the branch and Area 9, as well as non-members, and our members in turn represent the branch both regionally and nationally.
As a volunteer-run charitable organisation, we work hard to provide as many opportunities for our community within the income received from membership payment and ticket sales from rallies and events. We love to go the extra mile and provide a little extra throughout the year, from sending one of our fantastic instructors to events as team trainer, to really good prizes and giveaways at summer camps and competitions. And this is where you can lend your support. As a sponsor, you will be reaching an aspirational and affluent audience with a healthy lifestyle image. You will be aligning your organisation with a successful and exciting sport with attractive brand values.
The 2026 Easter Show, our next event, is just around the corner, so while you may be thinking about higher levels of sponsorship, we are on the hunt for seven Horse Treats sponsors for this fun and informal open to all event at Unicorn Equestrian, Stow on the Wold.
During the summer months we run a series of camps for all our members at venues across the area before moving into a busy Autumn season, during which we are hosting the Spring Festival Area 9 Qualifier Arena Eventing competition in October, which is always a sell out.
Last year, we were very grateful to Hickman Brothers’ Landscapes Ltd, who provided a selection of potted plants to dress the arena. This is just one of the alternative ways you can support us that isn’t financial.
We we offering four opportunities to strengthen your connection in our thriving network of community leaders and reach and aspirational audience with a healthy lifestyle image.
Puissance (£750)
Hurdle (£350)
Cross Pole (£150)
Horse Treats Sponsor – £50
