Friendship, Education, Horses, and a lifetime of Memories
U.S. Pony Club is one of the leading junior equestrian organizations in the world, represented throughout 30 countries!
The United States has over 600 individual Clubs spread throughout 48 states and the Virgin Islands, with more than 12,000 members. Two Rivers Pony Club encompasses Dunn, Chippewa and Eau Claire County and is a part of the Northern Lakes Region. Pony Club is not just for ponies - horses of all breeds and sizes are allowed to compete with their riders.
It is not even necessary for a child to own a horse or pony; however, they must have access to a horse or pony when required. Many youth lease or borrow or share their horses and ponies. Programs, clinics and shows are offered in dressage, eventing, show jumping, mounted games, tetrathlon, quiz, vaulting, foxhunting, and polocrosse.
During "unmounted" meetings members learn about feeding, shoeing,veterinary care, and other areas of horse management and stable management. Under adult supervision, the more experienced Pony Club members instruct and assist younger members.
Mission Statement:
Two Rivers Pony Club is a member of the United States Pony Club, an organization of youth, which provides a program that teaches riding, mounted sports, and the care of horses and ponies, thereby developing responsibility, moral judgment, leadership, and self-confidence.
