Founded in 1974, Wokingham Branch of the Pony Club celebrates our 50th Anniversary in 2024!!
We are a small, friendly , busy branch, which caters for a wide range of young people from our wonderful mini-gang of beginners on the lead rein right through to experienced competitive riders, competing at all Pony Club levels!
At Wokingham, our team of knowledgable coaches and committed volunteers encourage friendship and fun and provide a supportive team network. By educating our members on horse welfare, helping to develop their horsemanship we work to enable them to unlock their potential, together with building resilience, confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.
As well as our Rallies and Training Sessions, we hold other fun competitions including Horseball, Mini Fun Day activities, Ride-a-Test Dressage teach-ins, Combined Training, Mounted Games and Superstars which run throughout the summer months and in August we hold our Pony Club Camp at Sparsholt College which provides Camps to suit all our members from the youngest to the oldest and is the best fun according to those who came last year! Wokingham Pony Club really does have something for everyone, yet still retains that small club benefit where everyone knows each other!
We have a variety of instructors providing excellent training for all levels of rider and in all the disciplines. We encourage our members to complete the Pony Club Efficiency tests which aim to improve both their riding, horse and pony care skills and their understanding of horse welfare. These range from E (the most elementary) up to A , the highest Pony Club award which is achieved by less than 20 members nationally each year.
We are an active Branch who run open competitions during the year – our next show the Winter Show Jumping at BCA on 17 November – where we have something for everyone from poles right up to PC110. The show is part of the Area 13 Winter SJ League (Area 13 Winter Showjumping League 2024/25 – Area 13 (pcuk.org) and we also have a Royal Windsor Horse Show Ticket on offer for the PC110 highest placed PC member!
