The Norfolk Hunt Pony Club is one of 10 member clubs of the Southeastern New England Region of the United States Pony Clubs, Inc.  Pony Club is one of the leading junior equestrian organizations in the world, represented throughout 30 countries!  The United States has over 600 individual Clubs spread throughout 48 states and the Virgin Islands, with more than 12,000 members.  It is not necessary for a child to own a horse or pony, but they must have access to one when required.  Programs are offered at NHPC in dressage, eventing, show jumping, mounted games, quiz, and foxhunting. During “unmounted” meetings members learn about feeding, shoeing, veterinary care, and other areas of horse management. Under adult supervision, the more experienced Pony Club members instruct and assist younger members.

“As a member of the United States

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 stride,

remembering that without good

manners and good temper, sport

loses its cause for being. I shall

endeavor to maintain the best

tradition of the ancient and noble

skill of horsemanship, always

treating my horse with consideration

due a partner.”

— The Pony Club Pledge

Our Goals

The NHPC strives to bring young horse lovers together to develop their horsemanship skills, learn teamwork, and enjoy a real sense of camaraderie!  A Pony Clubber’s education will come from a broad range of professionals & upper level Pony Club members and will encompass ALL aspects of horsemanship --- from care & management to riding.  Pony Clubbers are encouraged to work their way through the nine stages of the progressive Standards of Proficiency, which test knowledge & riding ability.  Pony Clubbers who attain the B, H-A, and A rating levels meet standards of competency that are recognized throughout the horse world!  Although owning a horse or pony is not required, we strongly suggest that our members have regular access to an appropriate mount to use in Pony Club activities.  NHPC does NOT provide mounts for its members.
