The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. was founded in 1954 by a group of foxhunters. A happy child on a happy pony (or horse) is the goal of Pony Club, and the hunt field is a great place to find many of these pairs!
Foxhunting is a mounted sport that dates back hundreds of years. Mounted riders chase wild game with a pack of hounds across the countryside. Riders navigate through open terrain, across creeks and streams, over logs and other natural obstacles, and even through woods and thickets. Foxhunting can be enjoyed by all ages and levels of riding.
Foxhunting is a Resource Discipline in Pony Club.
There are many opportunities for members to enjoy Hunting as a Pony Club member, with many Hunts offering reduced rates to members and Pony Club hunt days. Pony Club also offers an annual writing competition focused on Foxhunting, as well as an International Foxhunting Exchange.
