The United States Pony Clubs, Inc., develops character, leadership, confidence and a sense of community in youth through a program that teaches the care of horses and ponies, riding and mounted sports.
-USPC Mission Statement
Over 50 years later, RRHPC continues this mission along with certain key values such as horsemanship, organized teamwork, respect, service and education through mounted horseback riding lessons, riding camps, team rallies and unmounted education sessions held at the RRHPC grounds.
Youth learn about all aspects of horsemanship including equine health care, nutrition, stable management and the handling and riding of a mount safely and correctly with confidence. Club rallies foster a supportive yet competitive environment that stresses cooperation, communication, responsibility, leadership and mentoring. Respect for horses, others and land is developed through service, teamwork and land conservation education.
We provide an opportunity for members, parents and others to support our program through volunteerism. Education is individually paced to help achieve personal goals and expand knowledge taught by experienced professionals and all also through member-to-member teaching. Lessons taught in Pony Club spill over from the barn into a member’s whole life. That’s what makes Pony Club and RRHPC so special.
