The Avon Vale has for a long time had some very successful polo players, but we now need some new younger members who would like to learn how to play. Details on the POLO tab

To encourage new polo players do read Diana Deal's account of her daughter Rebecca's first polo rally at Druids Lodge - also under the POLO tab

The Avon Vale Pony Club was established in 1924 and is part of Area 14. The branch is located in Wiltshire and has some 220 members.

The Avon Vale runs four annual camps, has groups for dressage, show jumping, eventing, tetrathlon and pony club racing as well as running daytime and evening rallies, fun rides, a show, horse trials, hunter trials and dismounted activities. Whilst the Avon Vale has been highly successful at Area and Pony Club Championship level competitions, we also have plenty of fun and learning opportunities for all ages and abilities.

Internationally the Pony Club has a membership of over 110,000 across 18 countries, making it the largest association of riders in the world. Most British equestrian medal winners at all Olympic Games were once members of the Pony Club.
