  • 4-H and Pony Club:You Can Do Both!
    4-H and Pony Club: You Can Do Both! By Julie Herman, USPC Marketing and Communications Chair The parents of today are busy. The available time they have to take their children to activities seems to be shrinking, and even choosing the right activity that fits into their already over-scheduled lives can be daunting. Choices for the parents of horse-loving children used to be clear-cut: Your child wants western riding? Choose 4-H. English riding? Pony Club. Recent changes in the Pony Club are bringing these two programs closer together because USPC now offers a wider range of horse sports for young riders. Both produce young adults who are capable of setting goals and achieving them. So how are they different? At a Glance: 4-H: USPC: Membership Age 8-18 years Opportunities for all ages.

Carli Guyon, Member Services Assistant for The United States Pony Clubs took the minutes. 3. New Directions in Pony Club Pat Maykuth presented a research project put forth by USPC on membership retention. Peggy Entrekin prefaced it by saying they had been losing members and did not know the reason. She challenged each country to pool their resources to create a Virtual Pony Club and a way to create a new identity for Pony Club. The name Pony Club does have a sort of negative connotation in the US. A way to change the name, not recreate a name, to expand upon what we do. Peggy Entrekin challenged the national organizations to work together in figuring out a way to endeavor forward. Australia and Canada also recognize a displeasure with the name. Despite this name, each is still getting new members and having members coming back to Pony Club for the Program. Pat Maykuth suggested an identity change as she would have for a business in the market place.
