Bainbridge Island Pony Club

Bainbridge Island Pony Club Welcome to the BIPC, the state’s oldest Pony Club, established in 1962, located in Poulsbo, WA, serving North and Central Kitsap.

A United States Pony Club providing a program for youth and adults that teaches horse management, riding, and mounted sports. We provide a program for youth that teaches riding, mounted sports, and the care of horses and ponies, while developing responsibility, moral judgment, leadership and self-confidence. This unique educational program places equal emphasis on the teaching of riding skills, ho

rse-care fundamentals, and team participation with sportsmanship. Through the national organization, our members access a broad network of activities and educational programs that promote the health and safety of both horse and rider. Our club provides excellent mounted and unmounted instruction, along with team camaraderie and leadership opportunities in equestrian activities. Through our participation in the Northwest Region of Pony Clubs, members may try a variety of equestrian sports and activities that can't be matched anywhere else, including show jumping, dressage, eventing, polo-cross, TET, fox hunting, games and more. Members work to increase their mastery in their choice of several equestrian disciplines, including Eventing, Show Jumping, Dressage, Hunter Jumper and Western, with regularly scheduled certification supported with mounted and unmounted training. The Badge program provides additional opportunities for members who are learning to ride in a barn with school horses or other limited access to a mount. In addition to learning and competing with other members from throughout our region at rallies, camps and clinics, those who qualify also meet compete at the national level as well.

Busy time of the year! Two rallies attended last weekend, traveling for our mounted meeting this coming weekend to Sunny Meadows to school cross country, and we still managed to have a great Horse Management meeting tonight. Due to school activities and graduations, we had a small but fantastic group!

Learning about internal and external parasites, how to prevent and treat. A demonstration of how to give wormer and other medicine by syringe, and calibrating the dosage. Then off to practice jog-outs and polo wrapping.

Topping off the night was a rock gathering competition to allow the the cross country course to be enlarged with candy and cash prizes!

So, so proud of these kids! They learned so much at rally! They made mistakes, did so much right, dealt with a very naughty pony, and smiled through it all. It took bravery to do this, none of them had been to a rally before, and they did it without an experienced team member! So proud! 😊 Now on to TET Rally!

For the first time in many years, (rebuilding a club is a slow process!) BIPC is attending a mounted rally! At the last minute one of the ponies had an injury and had to be scrubbed, but good ol’ Rusty is going to carry two riders this weekend. We had a short team to start due to riders gone on vacation and another having to pull at the last minute. But this team was determined they were going! This rally is a time to learn, experience and most of all have a good time. And bring their knowledge back to all the other members. So proud of them! And of Bryn Davis, our rally coordinator for all her hard work pulling this together and spending hours with members teaching them the ins and outs of rally.

What a great Horse Management meeting! Parents volunteering to run learning stations, and our C rated members setting up, and then teaching and and sometimes assisting the “littles”! So much fun on a stormy evening.

Thank you so much to our trainer Anne Ryan for a wonderful mounted meeting! And a huge thank you to Amanda Gelderman at Sandamar Farm for allowing us to haul in—the morning was filled with down pouring rain, while our members stayed snug and dry!

What an excellent Horse Management meeting! We started off the evening with a presentation on colic by HB hopeful Emmersyn. What a great job she did! Then Dr. Bryce Brown, Equine Chiropractor took over and taught us all about adjusting horses with lots of hands-on! Thank you Dr. Brown!
