St. Margaret's Pony Club

Pony Club is a great place to not only learn riding skills, and care of horses and ponies, but to have fun learning and participation in many riding sports. Our riding sports include Dressage, Eventing, Mounted Games, Polocrosse, Show Jumping, and Tetrathlon. Margaret's members also enjoy a Regional Summer Camp, an annual Horse Swim, Fox Hunting, and our traditional round robin event. Our first co

mpetition of the year is the popular unmounted knowledge competition called Quiz. Pony Club members participate in these sports in team competitions called rallies, which help them learn the importance of cooperation and friendship. At rallies, there is no help from parents. There are rallies and Championships every year. Plus every three years, Festival is held; an event that combines Championships and an educational program held at the Kentucky Horse Park. 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. Pony Club believes that safety and the care of the horse - Horse Management - should be primary goals for all riders.
