Pony Club Centre Membership is for children who do not have their own pony. It’s a bit like scouts or brownies but with ponies!
The Pony Club is an international voluntary youth organisation for young people interested in ponies and riding. The Centre Membership Scheme was introduced in 1998 so that children and young people without their own pony could join and take part in Pony Club activities, tests and achievement badges. Membership is open to anyone up to 25 years of age.
