Conestoga Pony Club focuses on English-style riding in these disciplines:
Horse & Horse Care Knowledge, Dressage, Stadium Jumping, Cross Country (Eventing), Tetrathlon (Running, Swimming, Shooting, & Jumping)

What we do:
We conduct knowledge training meetings during the winter months. These are fun get-togethers, but also incorporate learning at all levels. Learning can range from the beginner learning colors & breeds, to the advanced member learning diseases, horse management, and training.

We attend regional competitions, where the youngest members are mentored by older members, and intermediate members compete as a team, promoting camaraderie. Qualifying individuals can join with members from other clubs to compete at national competitions each year.

Competitions are fun and low-key.

We organize an affordable, one-week summer camp at a local private farm, where campers take care of their own horse for the week, have daily instruction, and participate in fun activities, like swimming in a pond with your horse!

Where it is:
Conestoga Pony Club activities are conducted at member houses & local stables. They can range from York to Manheim to Quarryville to Fair Hill, MD. Regional competitions are in Western NJ, Southern MD or Southern Delaware – about 2-3 hour drive.

What you’ll need:
While Pony Club members do not need to own a horse, they’ll need access to one to fully enjoy the membership. Horses need to be trailered to mounted activities.

Approved helmet & boots are required, and all tack must be safe & serviceable. We’re not fancy!!

What it costs:
Low annual dues (under $150) cover a membership pin, some activities, and insurance. Most unmounted activities are free. Group lessons with top trainers are conducted at reduced rates (rates vary by instructor & location). We try to have discounts for multiple children in one family.

All activites are optional, so you control your budget.
