Pony Club Announces Partnership Opportunities

The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. Official Press Release

November 11, 2024 (Lexington, KY) — The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC or Pony Club) invites the equestrian community to partner with Pony Club in 2025 and beyond. USPC recently celebrated 70 years of equestrian education with its 70^th anniversary. The United States Pony Clubs is the largest equine educational organization in North America that teaches safe horsemanship with an emphasis on horse care, while also offering opportunities in both English and western disciplines, along with unmounted activities and curriculum. Both youth and adults are welcome to join the United States Pony Clubs, and mounts of all breeds and sizes are ridden by members. Skills gained through USPC’s program—such as leadership, sportsmanship, confidence, responsibility, teamwork, goal setting and achievement, and more—can be used in all areas of life.

“As we look to secure the future of the horse industry and equestrian sport, there has never been a better time to partner with Pony Club,” says Marian Wahlgren, USPC Director of Development. “Your support helps Pony Club continue to create more knowledgeable horse owners and produce the next generation of leaders. As a nonprofit organization, we are incredibly grateful for all that our partners make possible for our members.”

Pony Club invites you to be part of it with the following partnership opportunities.
