Pony Club’s first concern and part of it’s mission is to teach and promote safety in horse-related activities. It is a membership requirement that Pony Clubbers wear a riding helmet meeting the ASTM/SEI standard when attending mounted meetings. The graduated “ratings” of pony club are designed to introduce riding activities only after the necessary skills have been demonstrated to perform them safely.
