Pony Club is a youth movement and uses horses as a focal point of interest to train its members in the aims and objectives.The Pony Club member must learn to understand and care for their pony while at the same time learning to improve their riding skills. Aims and objectives of Pony Club include encouraging young people to ride and to learn to enjoy all kinds of sport connected with horses and riding, to provide instruction in riding and horse-mastership and to instill in members the proper care of their animals and to promote the highest ideals of sportsmanship, citizenship and loyalty, thereby cultivating strength of character and self discipline.
