We have been in existence for over 90 years and are the worlds largest association of young riders.

Our purpose is:
To encourage young people to ride and to learn to enjoy all kinds of sports connected with ponies, horses and riding.

Join a branch, centre, or centre plus in your area, and attend monthly rallies with your horse or pony. Enjoy the time with like-minded people, who are as passionate about horses as you are.

To give instruction in riding and horsemastership and to educate members to look after and to take proper care of their animals.

We have vast training experience and training materials, and the welfare of our animals and the safety of our members is always paramount.

To promote the highest ideals of sportsmanship, citizenship and loyalty, in order to create strength of character and self-discipline.

Participate in team events and community service activities. We include Friends of Pony Club in our structure, and assist in training your groom.

As a member of the South African Pony Club, I stand for the best in sportsmanship as well as in horsemanship. I shall compete for the enjoyment of the game well played and take winning or losing in my stride, remembering that without good manners and good temper, sport loses its cause for being. I shall treat my horse with consideration.
