Welcome to the West Midlands Branch of The Pony Club<\/h2>\n

We are a friendly and inclusive branch with members aged between 4-25yrs from across Birmingham, Walsall, Sutton Coldfield, Aldridge and surrounding areas. The branch was first established in 1975 and forms part of Area 7 of The Pony Club.<\/p>\n

The Pony Club is the starting point for anyone aged under 25yrs who wants to develop their equine skills and knowledge\u00a0 through fun, friendship, horsemanship and sport. Members Membership is open to everyone under 25yrs<\/p>\n

We run a variety of activities from rallies and training, tests and achievements, camps and social events. The Pony Club is a unique youth equestrian organisation providing the opportunity for members to gain internationally recognised tests, participate in 9 different equestrian disciplines and make friendships that last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Branches are run and managed entirely by volunteers. The W.M.P.C committee are committed to supporting our members and creating a welcoming and active branch which offers its members a wide variety of fun and engaging activities.<\/p>\n
