York & Ainsty North | Area 3

The Equestrian Youth Organisation


Welcome to our Branch of The Pony Club. We have Members from the age of 5-25, who participate in a variety of activities, from Rallies, Competitions, Tests and Camp. The Pony Club is a unique youth equestrian organisation, providing the opportunity to participate in 9 different sports. At our Branch we focus on Dressage, Show jumping, Eventing, and Mounted Games.

The Pony Club has been the starting point for a large majority of equestrian team members, equine professionals, and medal winners. Training is at the heart of The Pony Club, providing opportunities to build knowledge on improving equine welfare, rider safety and enabling Members to develop lifelong skills, alongside riding, and having fun!

We welcome you to have a look around this website to find out more about us. Visit our Contact Us page to get in touch with any questions you may have. We are a fun and friendly Branch, and we are looking forward to welcoming you.

For Fun, Friendship, Horsemanship and Sport

The York & Ainsty North branch was established in 1950 and is part of The Pony Club Area 3.  In 1995 Barbara Birchall became DC.

Members from 5 to 21 years old and associates to 25 take part in all club activities.  The emphasis is correct horsemanship, fun, responsibility and friendship. Teams are entered in most disciplines. Rallies are held on farm/parkland in various locations between Knaresborough and York.  A Main & Mini camp, a Summer and Christmas show, a Fun day and Egg hunt are held annually, as well as formal rallies and advanced training.

If there is anyone who would be interested in joining the York & Ainsty North Pony Club and who would like to come along on foot to watch a Rally to see what it’s all about prior to joining, we would be glad to see you. Please email Helen Vesty; helenv7@hotmail.co.uk
