Pony Club of Santa Barbara – Tecolote Chapter

United States Pony Club: Sportsmanship, Stewardship and Leadership through Horsemanship.Pony Club members start at about age six and graduate at age 25. Throughout their years in Pony Club, members progress through a standard evaluation system called Certifications. Each level requires them to learn more about horses and their care and to become increasingly accomplished riders. You dont have to own a horse to be in Pony Club. Our Riding Centers Program offers access to a horse or pony with which the member can participate in Pony Club Activities. Additionally, adults wishing to take part in Pony Club educational opportunities may join Horsemasters Program for Adult Volunteers.

ITS FUN & GAMES

We think riding is fun! And Pony Club is a great place to not only learn riding skills and horse care; but to have fun learning and participating in riding sports such as Dressage, Eventing, Mounted Games, Polocrosse, Show Jumping and Tetrathlon. Members also participate in Foxhunting and Vaulting in many clubs.

ITS HORSEMANSHIP & SPORTSMANSHIP

Pony Club believes that Safety and the care of the horse Horse Management should be primary goals for all riders. Pony Club members participate in team competitions called rallies, which help them learn the importance of cooperation and friendship. There are rallies and Championships every year. Plus every three years, Festival is held: an event that combines Championships and an education al program held at the Kentucky Horse Park.
