The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. is pleased to welcome three new Pony Clubs in 2013. Members of the following clubs can now enjoy Pony Club activities:

- Crystal Coast Pony Club in the Carolina Region; Erin Richard, DC from Stella, NC.
- Northwest Arkansas Pony Club in the Midwest Region; Michael Munson, DC from Rogers, AR.
Pony Club promotes teamwork, a sense of responsibility, safety, self-confidence and leadership, while teaching members riding and the care of horses. Members build upon their horsemanship by progressing through the Standards of Proficiencies and earning certifications as each level requires an increased depth of knowledge and skill. There are opportunities to compete through events such as Rallies and Championships, and to create friendships and skills that last a lifetime.
