Join the Pony Club

If you would like to join our branch do not hesitate to contact our Membership secretary for more information and a membership form. (Contact details can be found on Contact Us page)

Alternatively, you can download a membership form straight away from the official Pony Club website.

As a member of our Pony Club

We want you to appreciate and enjoy your pony with like-minded people and hopefully make new friendships on the way.

Within the Pony Club you will have opportunities to compete and represent our Pony Club in competitions - this is not compulsory - it is up to you! You can just come along and watch if you want!

There is a certain dress code for both you and your pony, for instance brightly coloured numnahs and jodhpurs are not really acceptable.

Riders are expected to wear jodhpurs and riding boots to Pony Club events with shirt, tie and jacket or Pony Club jumper. Pony Club ties and badges are available.  Sweatshirts and polo shirts are available on 01822 841871 or email spooners@pcuk.org.

Riding hats should have a pony club approved safety logo or number.

So before going to buy anything new for you or your pony it might be wise to check.

Any committee member or experienced parent will be only too happy to help.
