About The Ryburn Valley Pony Club<\/h2>\n

The Ryburn Valley is an active Branch of The Pony Club, we are a friendly club and welcome young riders and horse lovers of all levels.<\/h4>\n

Founded in the early 1970’s, Ryburn Valley was created as a breakaway of the Rockwood Harriers Branch of The Pony Club due to the rapid expansion of the club and the vast region it covered. The Ryburn Valley Pony Club welcomes members from the Calderdale and Bradford region of West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

The Ryburn Valley Pony Club is an ever expanding branch, with active members as young as 2 years old. The Pony Club itself is often a starting point for stars of the Equestrian world, including many of the current British Team riders. The Ryburn Valley has seen several past members go on to ride and compete at the top level of their sport and many members who go on to have career within the equestrian industry, built on the foundation provided by their Pony Club knowledge and experiences.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n
