United States Pony Clubs, Inc. started in 1954 to teach the English style of riding and the proper care of horses. It is an offshoot of the British Pony Club, which was created in 1929. Since then, Pony Club expanded to many countries around the world. The main purpose is to promote sportsmanship, stewardship and leadership through horsemanship. Go to PonyClub.org to learn more.
