Parents and Pony Club

How do parents fit in with Pony Club? As you can see by the above list of activities, Pony Club needs many volunteers with a variety of skills to keep the different programs running. Being a parent of a Pony Club member involves a commitment to not only ensuring that your child attends the various lessons and activities, but to help in their organization and running as well. You don’t have to be a horseperson to help. Your DC (the District Commissioner heads up your local branch or club) will be glad to channel your skills as a volunteer.

We hope that you and your child will have a pleasant experience as members of CPC in the BC Lower mainland region. Remember, our main goal is to teach children to love, respect and care for their horse. Competition is not for everyone and should not be forced upon any child. Our children should have fun with their friends and their horses as part of a positive learning experience. As a parent, you need to be a positive role model. To that end, the Candian Pony Club has developed a Parental Code of Conduct. The members themselves produced this document. Please read it carefully and take to heart its message.

Or regional chair is  Betty Cross - crossatfairhavenfarm@shaw.ca and she will be pleased to answer any inquires you may have. The Canadian Pony Club National Office is run out of Baldur, Manitoba. Parents are welcome to phone the office with questions or concerns. Their toll free number is 1-888-286-7669. 9 or you may e-mail them at ponyclub@escape.ca.
