"The best school horses transcend beyond flesh and fur. They become legends."

The horses most riders start on, and the horses that deserve the utmost respect within the equestrian community. School horses are the backbone of lesson programs and a rider's first love for horses. They tolerate all the little legs urging them on in the saddle and the constant pampering from little hands. Comment below, who was your favorite school horse? ❤️

Attention parents and volunteers 🚨

THANK YOU! "Being a Pony Club parent is possibly the most important "job" to be found in our whole organization." Not only do parent volunteers assist at our local gatherings, but they also play a huge role in keeping regional and national events running smoothly. As the article discusses, the USPC is volunteer-operated, so we are always in a constant need of YOU. There are so many ways to get involved with our amazing organization to keep it running as efficiently as possible. Again, thank you so much to all of our volunteers!
