Firstly, a reminder to those wishing to join or try Pony Club out, membership years are now January – December, information can be found on the PCA Just Go website, including contact details for all our fantastic local clubs.

“Come Try Memberships” are a great way to try out club rally days to see if Pony Club is right for you before making the financial commitment of a full year’s membership.

It’s important that everyone learns correct care and procedures when coming in to the horse world.

Pony Club encourages all aspects of horse health, care and education in a great social environment.
