United States Pony Clubs
The United States Pony Club (USPC) is an organization founded in 1954, based on the model of the Pony Club of Great Britain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ponyclub.org/?page=aboutus )〕 Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, the club mainly teaches English riding and horse management.
The word "Pony" in United States Pony Club does not refer to the type of horse allowed in the club, but instead to the ages of its members, who, upon the establishment of the club, were required to be younger than 21. In the 21st century, USPC raised the "graduation" age of members to 25 and has added programs on western riding and issues such as land conservation.〔
==Clubs and centers==
The USPC has over 600 clubs or centers, and over 10,000 members in the United States.〔http://www.ponyclub.org/news/187022/2014-USPC-Festival-Recap.htm〕 Many programs are offered, such as eventing, dressage, mounted games, horse management, Quiz (formerly known as Knowdown), polocrosse, show-jumping, tetrathlon polo, and fox hunting. Also included are unmounted meetings where children are taught about the health and care of their horses which in itself includes instructions on feeding, shoeing and veterinary care. More experienced Pony Club members help instruct and assist younger members. In fact, as a Pony Club member progresses through the certifications, teaching of fellow pony club members becomes a prerequisite for promotions.
Pony Club has added an adult organization, the Horsemasters Program, for adult volunteers. Horsemasters clubs serve as both a volunteer group to assist with Pony Club activities as well as its own adult horse riding club.
