The mission of the United States Pony Clubs is to provide a program for youth that teaches riding, mounted sports, and the care of horses and ponies, thereby developing responsibility, moral judgment, leadership and self-confidence.
USPC is unique in teaching both mounted and unmounted skills to our membership:
the best of America's young horsemen and women.
Horse Management refers to the unmounted knowledge portion of the USPC curriculum.
Horse Management knowledge is tested during the members' ratings, is applied practically at all meetings, and at rallies when they compete both by demonstrating teamwork and unmounted skills in the barns and showcasing thier mounted skills in the ring.
It is an important portion of our mission to develop members who are well-rounded horsemen and women
-- on and off the field.
