Murthwaite Green is an official Pony Club Centre. As a Member of The Pony Club your child is automatically insured for Personal (Third Party) Liability arising from equestrian activities up to a Limit of Indemnity of £30,000,000 (particularly useful if your child rides friends ponies). They will also receive two newsletters per year with membership information and a Pony Club badge. As a centre, we offer members’ the opportunity to work towards badges and proficiency tests. The Pony Club Training structure encourages Members to take these tests which enables them to learn progressively about horse and pony care and riding. The tests are taken at recommended ages and are designed with certain objectives in mind. These tests can advance upto such a level that they provide direct entry onto high level British Horse Society examinations. The annual cost of joining The Pony Club is £22. This fee is payable to The Pony Club. The normal cost of the Pony Club is £25 pr session, payable directly to Murthwaite Green. The sessions are held fortnightly from 10.30am until 2.30pm on either a Saturday or a Sunday.
For more information on the benefits of joining The Pony Club, visit their website at: www.pcuk.org Throughout the year we will be holding a variety of exciting and informative sessions. These include: Treasure Hunt on Horseback, Quiz, Gymkhana Day, Beach Ride and Picnic, Shoeing and footcare demonstration. During the summer months we hold camps at Murthwaite Green and have an annual open day which the pony club members are encouraged to participate in. View a few pictures from our recent 'Parent and Child' ride. This ride proved extremely popular with the children!!!!
