Foxhunting

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 and has been associated with The United States Pony Clubs since its founding in 1954. Riders navigate through open terrain, across creeks and streams, over logs and other natural obstacles, and even through woods and thickets. Foxhunting can be enjoyedby all ages and levels of riding. Foxhunting is governed by The Masters of Foxhounds Association (MFHA). Pony Club continues to work closely with the MFHA and has representation on the MFHA Board.
