USPC D Rally
Elizabeth Affeld of Juneau, and her horse Lady, placed second the weekend of July 17-19 in their first Lakeshore Region Pony Club D Rally held at Wisconsin Equestrian Center at DePere. Rally is a three phase event, with the competitors riding dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping. Affeld was on a scramble team, which was made up of competitors from two other pony clubs and a stable manager. She trains at Kuenzi Equestrian Pony Club Riding Center located at Beaver Dam.
The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC) was founded in 1954 as a nonprofit national youth organization to teach riding and horsemanship through a formal educational program.
Many of the nation’s top equestrians, including most of our Olympic Equestrian team members,
have Pony Club roots. Members range in age from as young as 4 through age 21.
Activities are English-riding based, and members ride both horses and ponies, depending on the size of the rider and the discipline in which s/he is competing.
All Pony Club competition is team competition, much like the Olympic games, where members
learn the importance of cooperation and teamwork.
