Competition Badges
Competition Badges The Pony Club Competition Badge range has been designed to highlight the important issues in each of the nine competitive disciplines and encourage good training of horses and ponies. The Pony Club disciplines are; Dressage Eventing Show Jumping Mounted Games Polo Polocrosse Pony Racing Tetrathlon Endurance Riding The badges are based on The Pony Club Achievement and Mini Achievement Badge ranges, which mainly cover horse and pony care or non-equine related subjects. We hope that the Competition badges will complete the set of badges and provide riders with fun opportunities to improve their riding or learn new skills in a discipline they haven’t tried before. There are two levels of badge for each Discipline: “Intro to [discipline] badge” – for younger or less experienced Members who are just starting out in the discipline. This badge will help you understand the basics to help you get ready to compete. “[Discipline] badge” - for slightly older or more experienced Members who are ready to or have already started to compete in the discipline. It will help you to understand the rules of the discipline and what is expected of the horse and rider in order to be successful in a competition. Both levels of the Competition Badges can be worked on, practised for and tested during rallies, camps or lessons. Please note that both these badges require lots of progressive training and practice to achieve. © The Pony Club 2012 2 DRESSAGE Read: To Be a Dressage Rider. Intro to Dressage Badge: Understand that Dressage develops in the rider a greater understanding of and harmony with their pony. -

Welcome to Glenrothes Pony Club!
Welcome to Glenrothes Pony Club! Thank you for joining Glenrothes Branch of the Pony Club. We are a very friendly little Club, who pride ourselves on being welcoming, fun, supportive and encouraging. As a branch, we aim to provide fun with a competitive edge. We encourage our members to take part in all disciplines - we try to avoid specialisation too early, because we think it’s far more important that the children have fun, make friends and learn to look after their horses and ponies well. We run a varied programme of events over the year which although fun, encourages progression through the various equestrian disciplines. We welcome and encourage feedback as this is the only way that we can make things better for YOUR Club and its Members. If after reading this pack you still have questions, please feel free to contact Audrey, Diane, your Buddy or any Committee Member who will endeavour to help you. Audrey Nairns, District Commissioner Diane Hill, Assistant District Commissioner About this Pack: In this pack, we’ll try to explain: A bit about Glenrothes Branch Who we are What we do Where we go What to do and what to wear Where to find out more Who to contact and, finally, we’ll try to answer some of your questions Frequently Asked Questions About Glenrothes: Glenrothes Branch covers a very wide geographical area, from St Andrews to Kinross, Kirkcaldy to Tayport.

Strategy 2021-2025 About Us
STRATEGY 2021-2025 ABOUT US Founded in England in 1929, The Pony Club is an international youth organisation with over 100,000 members worldwide. We are one of the largest youth organisations in the world. Today we support some 30,000 Members in the UK. Whilst we are immensely proud of our history, we recognise that times are changing rapidly. The support that The Pony Club receives from volunteers and Members is amazing, but we must continue to sustain and refresh both audiences. We have an excellent opportunity to consolidate our position within the equestrian sector, but we must act in a planned and decisive way if we are to succeed. This document outlines The Pony Club strategic plan for the next five years. It aims to ensure that we not only survive but prosper and flourish by remaining relevant to our Members and volunteers. Our primary ambition is to grow our membership from every walk of life, becoming increasingly inclusive and diverse. We will look to expand our reach and partner with organisations who align with our ethos. We have also considered political, economic, and social issues, such as the changing regulatory environment in which we work and public expectations about transparency, governance and impact in the charitable sector. Volunteers play a vital role in delivering everything we do. Therefore, we need to respond to changing volunteers’ patterns and expectations, so we can continue to attract those who will support equestrianism. This strategy has been developed by drawing on the experiences and expertise of many individuals across the organisation. -
