Pony Club
Grenaby Estates is an approved Pony Club Centre. Centre Membership is designed
for children who do not own their own pony but would like to become involved in
Pony Club activities. We provide school ponies so you do not need access to one
of your own. Activities include rallies, stable management sessions, own a pony
days, show jumping, dressage, mounted games or social events like treasure hunts,
barbeques or trips to watch equestrian events.
You can also work towards certificates. There are twelve progressive tests, starting
with Bronze level 3. The progressive tests fit in between the efficiency tests
(D, D+, C, etc) and break the learning into smaller manageable chunks, while allowing
members to feel they are continuing to achieve their riding and horse care goals.
There are 29 achievement badges available to test the children’s knowledge of equine
and non equine subjects ranging from native breeds and saddlery to farming and poisonous
plants. Any member passing 21 achievement badges will be awarded the Gold Achievement Badge
as recognition of their hard work. A recent introduction is the mini achievement badges
especially designed for the 8 years and under members.
Details of some of our Centre Activities can be found in the Events section.
