Many Clubs meet Milestones at 2017 Equine Symposium and Convention
Every year at USPC’s Annual Meeting clubs are recognized for their dedicated longevity with Pony Club. The Club Milestone Award is awarded when a club reaches either its 25th or its 50th anniversary. This year we had a total of fifteen clubs reach a milestone anniversary.
During the Meeting of the Corporations on Saturday morning, eleven clubs celebrated their 25th Anniversary by receiving a 25 Year Club Milestone Award. Those clubs include Brazos Pony Club (Rio Grande Region), Grand River Pony Club (Great Lakes Region), Highland Hills Pony Club (Great Lakes Region), Lakefield Pony Club (Lakeshore Region), Midland Foxhounds Pony Club (South Region), Mount Peak Pony Club (Northwest Region), Old Dominion Hounds Pony Club (Virginia Region), Pacific Ridge Pony Club (Middle California Region), River Valley Pony Club (Carolina Region), Silver State Pony Club (Sierra Pacific Region), and Walnut Creek Pony Club (Midsouth Region).
Celebrating even bigger milestones, four clubs were honored this year with the 50 Year Club Milestone Awards. Those clubs include Ponca Pony Club (Midwest Region), Portola Valley Pony Club (Middle California Region), Portugese Blend Pony Club (Camino Real Region), and Racine County Pony Club (Lake Shore Region).
USPC National Office
The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC or Pony Club) is the largest equestrian educational organization in North America. Started in 1954, the organization has developed curriculum that teaches safe riding skills and the care of horses through mounted and unmounted lessons. Through Pony Club, members have fun with horses and make lifelong friends while they develop skills, habits, and values that extend well beyond the barn and last a lifetime. Many members apply what they have learned in the USPC program successfully in their careers, educational and volunteer opportunities, and other life pursuits.
