What are Your Goals In Pony Club?
As written in the mission statement of Pony Club, we are an “educational organization which builds the foundations of teamwork and sportsmanship through riding, mounted sports, care of horses and ponies…” With focusing on education, we give our members the opportunity to work towards and advance through different certification levels.
We love to hear what goals they set for themselves as they look towards different certifications, as well as the equine world as a whole. We recently reached out and asked what your goals were in Pony Club, and got some great responses:
- Short term: get my C-2 at the end of the year. Long term: get my A before the end of high school.
- To get my C-3.
- To be an A graduate.
- Reach at least H-A.
- To chaperone and/or coach an international exchange in Great Britain or Australia, and to become a chief HM judge to allow many more generations to grow up as I did.
- To gain skills to be competitive in the equine industry and a knowledgeable horsewoman.
- Definitely C-2.
- To learn new things about horses.
- To get my C-1.
- To learn more about ponies and get my C-1.
- To be a National Examiner and eventually earn my triple A!
- Become a C-3 Dressage!
We love to see everyone’s goals and aspirations, and hope to continue to continue inspire our members, and help them with their goals.
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.
