EastWind Pony Club

It's time to register for Pony Club!

Are you between 6 and 25 years old? Love horses? Want to learn more and have a chance to compete with others at the same level? Interested in testing to find out if you "make the grade" with riding and knowledge?

Last year our small branch competed in Prince Philip Games and in Regional Show Jumping as well as D Rally at the Raceway and C Rally at Hawkridge. We're already looking forward to Quiz next April, too.

We are holding an open house for new members on September 13 from noon to 2 pm at Dreamscape Acres Stable. We will have registration forms, information about Pony Club, and will explain what you can choose to participate in, and introduce you to some of our current members.

This year's EastWind membership fee is $110. Part of that money stays with the Branch, but most of it goes to Regional and National to cover their administrative costs. You can find the Ontario membership form on the Canadian Pony Club webpage under Downloads. We will have copies at the open house, too.

All Pony Club members must also be members of the Ontario Equestrian Federation. The OEF offers an extended membership (Sept 2009 to December 2010) for new members of Pony Club, but they have not provided the new form yet. As soon as it's available, we'll post a link here. Last year's junior (under 18) membership fee was $42. We don't know what the fee is for 2010 yet.

Our branch is able to keep our fees low as we received a very generous donation from David Duncan of Deerpark Management Corporation. Thank you, Mr. Duncan! We really appreciate your support!

Mr. Duncan's donation will help pay for badges, pins and clinics - and whatever else we choose to do.

Come on out and find out more about Pony Club at our Open House! We're looking forward to meeting you.
