PLEDGE
As a member of the United States Pony Clubs, I stand for the best in sportsmanship as well as in horsemanship. I shall compete for the enjoyment of the game well played and take winning or losing in stride, remembering that without good manners and good temper, sport loses its cause for being.  I shall endeavor to maintain the best tradition of the ancient and noble skill of horsemanship, always treating my horse with consideration due a partner.

CORE VALUES- "H.O.R.S.E."

Horsemanship with respect to health-care, nutrition, stable management, handling and riding a mount safely, correctly and with confidence.

Organized teamwork including cooperation,  communication, responsibility, leadership, mentoring, teaching and fostering a supportive yet competitive
environment.

Respect for the horse and self through horsemanship; for land through land conservation; and for others through service and teamwork.

Service by providing an opportunity for members, parents and others to support the Pony Club program locally, regionally and nationally through volunteerism.

Education at an individual pace to achieve personal goals and expand knowledge through teaching others.
