Celebrating the CPC's 75th with a cake at the regional tetrathlon

The Western Ontario Region of the Canadian Pony Club is located in Southwestern Ontario and is bordered by Lake Erie on the south, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay on the north, the state of Michigan on the west, and HWY 27 which runs roughly from Toronto to Barrie on the east.

Our Regional Chair is Del Zelmer who can be reached via email at delzel@cogeco.ca

We have approximately 300 members in the Western Ontario Region. Each of them has the opportunity to take part in activities within their own Branch and in addition, we hold annual Region wide competitions in Quiz , D Rally , A/B/C Rally , Tetrathlon , Dressage , Show Jumping , and Prince Philip Games .

National and International competitions are also held in most of the above activities and Western Ontario is one of the most active Regions in those events. We almost always send teams to all National events and usually have one or more representatives on International teams which represent Canada in world-wide Pony Club competitions.

Membership fees vary depending on the amount of instruction, clinics, or other services provided by each Branch. However, since the main support for Pony Club is volunteers, all Branch fees represent a very high value for the money.

Western Ontario collects a total of $95 per member in annual (2009) membership fees from the Branches for the first member in a family and $75 for additional family members. We then send $65 for each member to National for payment of their fees. Please refer to the Branch pages for the Branch and total membership fees.
