Buckingham Pony Club is a new registered club of The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. We serve members from Lee, Collier, Charlotte and Hendry Counties in Florida and are part of the Sunshine Region.
The mission of the United States Pony Clubs is to provide a program for youth that teaches riding, mounted sports, and the care of horses and ponies, thereby developing responsibility, moral judgment, leadership, and self-confidence.
Programs are offered in dressage, eventing, show jumping, mounted games, tetrathlon, quiz, foxhunting, and polocrosse. It is not necessary for a child to own a horse or pony, but they must have access to one when required.
During unmounted meetings, members learn about feeding, shoeing, veterinary care, and other areas of horse management. Under adult supervision, the more experienced Pony Club members instruct and assist younger members.
