The USPC is committed to safety. Not only is New York a big state, it's one where there is lots of Pony Club activity. There are a total of 36 individual Pony Clubs in New York State. All offer the basic Pony Club program. But you're closer to some clubs than others.
Some clubs have more members than others.
Some have been around as long as there has been Pony Club in the United States. Some are just a few years old. In some clubs in more rural areas you can still hack to mounted meetings. But lots of places it's a treat to be able to ride outside the ring at all. In some parts of our state, most mounts live in barns or run-in sheds at home.
