The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC or Pony Club) continues its decades-long leadership in equestrian safety by updating its helmet safety requirements to identify which helmet certifications will be accepted after January 1, 2028, for any mounted participant (except vaulters) at an official USPC event. Participants include members, instructors, volunteers, and nonmembers. These changes reaffirm the organization's commitment to requiring properly fitted, securely fastened helmets that meet the most current recognized international safety standards at Pony Club activities.
