Strong Mind Soft Hands is launching a global project in collaboration with the Pony Club International Alliance (PCIA) 💌🌍

“Letters to Riders Around the World” is a space for riders to share honest, supportive messages with one another - the kind you wish someone had written to you when things felt hard.

We’re inviting riders from all over the world to help shape this project by sharing what they would like to write about and/or like to read from another rider. Think themes like:
• A letter to the rider who feels like quitting
• A letter to the rider who feels alone
• A letter to the rider who has lost confidence

This is an anonymous form, and all responses will be used to help guide the direction of the final project. Please note not all suggested topics will be used, as we need to ensure everything fits within the overall purpose and wellbeing focus of the initiative.

Your voice helps shape something bigger than just one story - it helps build connection across riders worldwide 🤍

The cat’s officially out of the bag and our National Youth Reps Allison and Dolly are excited to share that…

The Canadian Pony Club is planning the first ever National Convention.

Oakville, Ontario
November 12–15, 2026

This is something new for Canadian Pony Club—and it’s being built for all of us. Riders, parents, volunteers, and youth.

We’re talking a full weekend of learning, leadership, and connection. Youth leadership programming, horse management and education sessions, dedicated time for volunteers, and a Pony Paddock for younger members. All in one place.

Right now, we’re figuring out what this needs to look like.

So before anything is finalized, we want to know:

Would you be interested in coming?

Take a second to let us know would you join us?

The Pony Club A Level is the highest standard of horsemanship, earned by riders who demonstrate exceptional riding skill, deep knowledge of horse care, and true dedication.

Only a few achieve it each year, making it one of the most respected accomplishments in the equestrian world.

Today we congratulate those that have successfully completed the first step in the A level achievement - the written test. 🐴🖋💙
