Certified Pony Club Riding Center
Pony Club at Roxbury Riding Club complements our lesson program by providing structured horsemanship education that reinforces correct riding, horse care, and responsibility both in and out of the saddle.
How Pony Club Works:
JOIN
Pony Club is available to riders ages 7 and up who are enrolled in the Roxbury Riding Club lesson program, with or without their own horse.
LEARN
Riders continue their regular mounted lessons while participating in monthly unmounted Pony Club meetings, focusing on horsemanship, safety, and comprehensive horse care.
PROGRESS
Riders work through Pony Club Certification levels (D-A), building riding skills and horse management knowledge progressively, with guidance from their instructor.
PARTICIPATE (OPTIONAL)
Riders may choose to participate in Pony Club rallies and team competitions, which emphasize preparation, correct horsemanship, and teamwork.
Pony Club is the largest equestrian educational organization in the world. The skills, habits and values instilled through horsemanship will apply to every part of a member's life.
