The United States Pony Club (USPC)
The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC or Pony Club) was founded in 1954 as a nonprofit national youth organization to teach riding and horsemanship through a formal educational program.
USPC is unique because its educational programs place equal emphasis on the teaching of riding skills, horse-care fundamentals, and team participation with sportsmanship. From the moment youth join USPC until they graduate, they are part of a broad network of activities and educational programs that promote the health and safety of both horse and rider. Members include both Youth Members range in age from as young as 4 through age 25, and HMX or adult Horsemaster Members. Members belong to local clubs or pony club centers and USPC is dedicated to developing knowledgeable, competent, responsible, and caring horsemen.

Core Values of the Pony Club are:
Horsemanship with respect to healthcare, nutrition, stable management, handling and riding a mount safely, correctly and with confidence.
Organized teamwork including cooperation, communication, responsibility, leadership, mentoring, teaching and fostering a supportive yet competitive environment .
Respect for the horse and self through horsemanship; for land through land conservation; and for others through service and teamwork.
Service by providing an opportunity for members, parents, and others to support the Pony Club program locally, regionally and nationally through volunteerism.
Education at an individual pace to achieve personal goals and expand knowledge through teaching others.
