Age Limits for the Pony Club UK?

[horsiigirl]

I used to ride and go to Stable Management and fun pony days like that and really enjoyed them. However, I fell off and it knocked my confidence a lot and I lost interest.
But now I want to join a Pony Club and take up riding again at a new stables. Could you please tell me what's the youngest age and oldest age allowed to join? As I think I may be too old! (I'm a teenager)

Thank yous

I think 25 but to stay till 25 you have to join before 21? Don't quote me on that though!

There is no minimum age - our youngest member is 2yrs! The maximum age for first time membership is 21yrs as of 1st of January but then a member may stay a member until 25yrs. Our largest group at our pc branch is aged between 15-22yrs! xx

I think it is different for Pony Club Centres rather than branches. OP are you looking to join a branch or a centre?

Same age limits for centres xx

Existing members may be members up to 25years of age - so you cannot join between the ages of 21 - 25
Otherwise any age under 21 years.

Under 21 for normal members, up to 25 for associates. There is no minimum age.

Thank you so much everyone! And it's a centre I'm joining by the way for the person who asked and then as I progress I might be able to join a branch when I get my own pony/loan pony!

Do they really have members of 2yrs?? What age does the insurance kick in I was advised 5yrs so what benefits do members of toddler age enjoy by joining the Pony Club??

The moment your membership is accepted you are insured.

We have some lead rein kiddies at our Pony Club in New Zealand - they enjoy being part of the fun. They have short tuition sessions, games, hacks around the grounds. They are made to feel part of the club in all ways possible. What do they get from it FUN.
