Our Charitable Purpose<\/h2>\n

We have three critical strands to our purpose, we exist:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To promote and advance the education and understanding of the public and particularly children and young people, in all matters relating to horsemanship and the horse.<\/li>\n
  2. To encourage the development of sportsmanship, unlocking potential by building resilience, confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.<\/li>\n
  3. To support and develop the volunteering network to strengthen The Pony Club community and sustain lifelong engagement with equestrianism<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
