A picture of all of our NJ competitors who competed at Tryon, NC, this year. We had 25 NJR members at champs this year in Dressage, Eventing, Quiz, and Show Jumping. What a great experience for all - members, friends, parents and everyone who supported our group at Champs.
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.

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.

Thank you to all who supported our NJ Region over the years. We welcome your continued support in 2021!
The year of 2020 was a year that didn't happen for pony club. All of our rallies had to be cancelled. Also our Dressage show held annually for the past 8+ years at the USET in Gladstone, NJ, was rescheduled and relocated when USET closed to outside events. We did reschedule this show to a new date - May 30 - and a new location - HPNJ - but this was not to be. On April 24th USEF extended the date for all shows and events to May 31, 2020. This then included our USEA Horse Trials being included in events no longer being sanctioned. Therefore, the NJ Region announced on April 24th that all activities, our Dressage Show and our USEA Horse Trials will also be canceled for this year. We are also canceling our WOW camp for 2020. We do plan to have a full calendar for 2021 and pray that all of you stay well and we will see you this year at pony club rallies and shows. If any facility would like to find out more about our pony club program and how they might offer that program and all it entails, including participating in our championships each year, please contact me for additional info - email me: cathybrogan@earthlink.net Please click here for more info on how to Support NJR Pony Club
