Hello and welcome to the website of the Kingston and Region Pony Club.  Pony Club is an international organization for youth from 6 to 21 years of age.  There are branches in many countries and all over Canada, with 19 branches in our region of Ontario.  Pony Club teaches complete horse care and riding, while having fun.  Our motto is LOYALTY, CHARACTER, SPORTSMANSHIP.

The Kingston and Region Pony Club branch holds meetings every 2nd Sunday afternoon at member's houses or local barns from January to May and October to December,  These are non-riding meetings where we learn about feed, tack, stabling and pasture, and general care of the pony and it's equipment and surroundings,  We also have some field trips to other community resources.  Young people interested in finding out more about what we do can attend up to 3 meetings before joining.

We do some riding together during the summer.  Our club does not offer riding lessons, so our members ride at various barns in the area with their own coach.  Most of our members compete locally in dressage, eventing and hunter jumper disciplines and attend many riding clinics.  Our branch tries to offer some mounted activities when possible, and we encourage members to attend events at other branches and at a regional level.

There are lots of Regional activities to choose from.  Winter Camp, Education Workshops, Quiz, Tetrathlon (ride, run, swim & shoot), Prince Phillip Games (mounted relay races), Rallies (3-day camps), Dressage and Show Jumping Championships, and our branch also offers testing to those who are ready and wanting to progress through the written, stablemanagement and riding levels offereded through the Canadian Pony Club.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK-YOU TO OUR 

PONY CLUB HEROES 

 KRPC owes a huge debt of gratitude to our "Sponsorship Heroes," supportive members of the Kingston and region community who have given our club a boost in 2011-2012.   We wrote to past supporters this fall to ask them to consider helping us out again.  We have struggled to keep our membership cost down, to make the club open to any child who is interested.  Most of the membership monies collected go to the regional and national levels of Canadian Pony Club, to provide us with requisite insurance and to make us part of a national organization.  We are incredibly proud of the volunteers (parents and friends) who come together to offer our club members an interesting, fun and educational experience.  But our subsidy of club membership means that every new member costs the club money.  And, of course, there are costs to the club that cannot be avoided:
● we bring in experts to offer testing to kids who are advancing in their riding skills; 
● this year we brought in a guest who has been a groom at both the Olympics and World Equestrian Games, to introduce the kids to the breadth and variety of the horse world;
● materials to provide the learning programs and activities that the members explore twice a month.
Thank you so much to those who could help us out.  You really are our heroes.
