112 SIDELINES JULY 2014
FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE
By Jan Westmark
The United States Pony Club (USPC) is an action-packed
organization with members participating in riding and mounted
sports while also learning horse and pony care. Many top United
States riders, including Olympians, started their riding careers in
Pony Club.
It’s an exciting year for Pony Club as they celebrate their 60th
anniversary and also celebrate Pony Club Festival July 14-21,
2014, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. That
translates to thousands of adorable ponies, pretty horses, cute
kids, young riders, adults, families and friends taking part in the
festivities.

“I couldn’t make show horses any showier; I couldn’t
make race horses any faster. But I could do what I
could to promote better horsemanship at the grass-
roots level.” —

founder of the United States Pony Club
