About the Fox and Hounds Pony Club
The Fox and Hounds Pony Club strives to help each member become a well-rounded horseperson capable of riding safely and tactfully on the flat, over fences, and in the open. Knowledgeable care of horses and ponies, horse management, is basic to the well-rounded horseperson. Fun and friendship are a big part of Pony Club. Our members develop teamwork and sportsmanship through fair and friendly competitions. Please see our standing rules for detailed information about the Club’s operations.

The Fox and Hounds Pony Club meets at the Gloucester County Library located on Route 45 in Mullica Hill on the second Wednesday of each month.

History of the Pony Club
The Pony Club started in Great Britain in 1928 with 700 members. The United States joined the program in 1954. By 1992 there were more than 130,000 members in 31 countries, making it the largest equestrian group in the world.

Today, the United States Pony Clubs have more than 12,000 members and more than 600 clubs throughout the United States. The USPC founders were enthusiastic foxhunters who recognized the need for an organization to provide sound instruction for all interested children, especially those who otherwise could not afford expensive lessons.

Each individual Pony Club is run by a volunteer District Commissioner and other locally elected officials, but clubs involve entire families. Pony Club is a monument to volunteerism, with some 3,000 dedicated and often passionate volunteers nationally.
