Results for our June 6, 2021 USEA Horse Trials are now posted.
NJ Region's activities for June & July were canceled.
2020 and now 2021 have created many new and heretofore unique circumstances for our NJ Region. While many of our clubs have full and active calendars at this time, NJ Regional activities that also include the general public are not currently supported by entries and/or sign ups for those. Therefore, as Regional Supervisor, I had an obligation to make sure what we, as a region support or organize, does not run at a loss and thereby incur a debt for the NJ Region. Therefore, any activity, show, camp, etc., sponsored by the NJ Region were not held this year. Refunds were sent to all who paid fees for any of these activities. |

A picture of all of our NJ competitors who competed in Kentucky in 2021. We had NJR members competing 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. 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.
Many of the nation's top equestrians, including many of our Olympic team members and many business professionals, government leaders and career military officers, have roots in Pony Club. There are approximately 10,000 members in 600 clubs and riding centers in 43 regions throughout the country.
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.

Thank you to all who supported our NJ Region over the years. We welcomed your continued support in 2021!
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 be canceled 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 2020.. We also canceled our WOW camp for 2020. We did plan to have a full calendar for 2021. Events happened but were run under strict Covid-10 guidelines and were quite different.
