2005-2006 education groups
and schedules
Mounted Meetings
Mounted meetings try to give consistent mounted instruction in a peer group setting based on the age and rating level of the pony clubber. Groups are small, but by being in a group it helps to keep the cost of a lesson down. Mounted meetings are intended to supplement the rider's regular instruction program. Children should be riding regularly with their own instructors in addition to mounted meetings. Remember, reservations are required. General questions about Mounted Meetings should be made to Karen Petrauskas.

Unmounted
Meetings
As
fall arrives and competitions quiet down, Pony Clubbers have time to
turn their attention to the RHPC Education Groups. Once cold weather
actually arrives these classes will help you keep your "heels down"
even when you can't do as much riding.There is so much to learn about
horse management and horsemanship. Join an education group and enjoy
being involved with your pony club friends. Your involvement in an Education
Group will help down the road, especiallly when you go for your next
rating.
Our
meetings take the form of discussion, lecture, videos, guest lecturers
and hands on work. Remember to dress warmly and always wear appropriate
footwear, ie riding boots, when working around horses. Pony Clubbers
need to purchase The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship
- D Manual and/or The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship
- C Manual
depending on their level. There is also a B Manual.
