Welcome to the Newmarket and Thurlow Pony Club |
|
The Pony Club is for all children and young adults from 5yrs to 25yrs, who wish to either compete or just enjoy their horse or pony while learning about the countryside, and work as a member of a ride or team.
This branch is open to all young people who live within the hunting country of the Thurlow Hunt. We encompass a large area and presently have nearly 200 members.
We are very lucky to have the use of lovely meadows in Thurlow for all our summer rallies, and we have a varied cross country course, and show jumps with fences from 1’6” to 3’6”.
Throughout the summer there are rallies, specialised training sessions, gymkhana evenings, picnic rides and of course pony club camp! We use a variety of venues besides our wonderful base at Thurlow. And our summer camps are held at Ely Eventing Centre (Seniors), Tattersalls Park Paddocks (Intermediates), and Thurlow (Juniors).
During the winter months we use a couple of indoor schools for dressage and show jump training.
There are also badge days and test days to help improve our stable management.
But most important of all, there is the opportunity to make friends with other people who have the same love of horses and ponies that we do.
Our branch is run by a Committee of members’ parents and we are entirely dependant on volunteers, so your support is needed for the successful running of the Club.
Our aim is for members, in a safe environment, to have fun, make new friends, improve riding skills and care of their ponies/horses with the opportunity for teamwork and competitions
