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.
