The Horsemaster Program is designed to teach interested
adults about Pony Club and to help increase our
valued Pony Club volunteer base. All adults are welcome,
whether or not they have prior equine experience.
While some activities are geared toward 'beginning'
riders, we welcome more experienced and highly-
skilled adults and Pony Club alumni as well!
Members of Horsemaster groups become corporate
members of USPC, and friends or sponsors (at the
DC's discretion) of the club/region.

What are the benefits?

The USPC Horsemaster Program for Adult Volunteers
affords the opportunity for adults to experience many
of the same benefits that Pony Club youth members
receive: the chance to learn from our excellent curriculum,
an opportunity to be part of a team of likeminded
individuals wanting to work together, and a
venue to enjoy a horse. Horsemasters follow the
USPC curriculum in an 'adult-friendly format,' which
allows adults to explore areas of interest and 'customize'
their own program of study to meet their individual
needs.

The Horsemasters Program does not
have Pony Club ratings as such; instead, it affords participants
a way to measure their progression with an
evaluation process of checking off areas studied, practiced
and proficiency acquired. We hope all our
members will have a good time and hone their skills
in both Horse Management and riding, as well as learn
more about Pony Club.
