U. S. Pony Club Dressage Rally, 2012

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. It is not necessary for a child to own a horse or pony, but they must have access to one when required. Programs 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. Under adult supervision, the more experienced Pony Club members instruct and assist younger members.

The Rockwall County Pony Club is a part of the Red River Region of theUnited States Pony Club and is located in Rockwall, Texas.  We are a group of riders of all ages and all levels of experience and their parents. Owning a horse or pony is not necessary to be a part of the Rockwall Pony Club, but one must have access to a mount to practice for and participate in events.

The Rockwall Pony Club is headed by our District Commissioner, Tommy Cook. Parents are also a huge part of making Pony Club work and are encouraged to attend meetings and events. As in every USPC club, the riders help, support, and teach each other.
