Donate to The Pony Club

Every donation helps more young people access the opportunities, friendships, skills and confidence that The Pony Club provides.

 

Your donation can help more young people access equestrian activities, develop new skills, build confidence and experience everything that horses and ponies have to offer.

Engaging with horses can have a range of benefits, from assisting with emotional regulation to learning core life skills such as responsibility and confidence. Horses are known to mirror human body language, offering understanding and calming without judgement.

With your help, we can reach even more young people across the UK.

 

Why we need your help

As the UK’s leading equestrian youth charity, we are on a mission to educate the public and young people about horses and horse riding.

Horses are sentient, emotional beings, who have been by our side in society for generations and are deserving of considerate care. Horses give so much to humans around them and so rely on equestrian organisations like us to ensure they are publicly understood and well cared for.

While we know not everyone will own a horse, we believe all young people should be able to explore, question and wonder about these magnificent mammals.

Your donations enable us to provide accessible education initiatives, ensuring the next generation of horse custodians are kind to horses and have a deep understanding of their welfare needs.
