Pony Club at MeadowView Reins is a structured, nationally recognized horsemanship program rooted in Western riding and ranch-based learning. Following Canadian Pony Club standards, we support children and teens as they grow into confident, capable equestrians—both on the ground and in the saddle.
We welcome children ages 5+ and teens, grouped by age and riding ability, so there is something appropriate and engaging for everyone.
At the heart of Pony Club are its timeless values:
Riders work toward achievement badges that recognize learning in:
Horse care and stable management
Riding skills and safety
Horse behavior and welfare
Responsibility, teamwork, and leadership
Badges help children set goals and celebrate progress in a tangible way.
Each Pony Club member progresses at their own pace.
Optional level testing opportunities are offered locally for riders who wish to:
Measure their skills against a national standard
Track personal growth and development
Work toward internationally recognized Pony Club levels
Testing is never mandatory. Each rider succeeds at their own rate, and participation is always the family’s choice.
