Pony Club Impact On Society

I have taken part in the United States Pony Club for the last 10 years and it has shaped me into who I am today. The United States Pony Club has core values of education, safety, sportsmanship, stewardship and FUN. Only telling half the story, Pony Club puts kids ages 5 to 18 into "adult" situations, having them think for themselves, care for their horses, education themselves and their team. The main part I took from my time in Pony Club is the confrontation of adults in situations were you are forced to begin a discussion and have the adult agree with you in a respectful fashion. Pony Club is a place for children of all backgrounds to meet and talk while gaining experience and necessary teamwork skills for the rest of their life.
