Tell us about your current mount(s) and what you do with them:
My pony Sugar is a 12.2hh welsh cross. She was a hunter pony but did I eventing for a little while when we first got her.

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.
