Pony Club Coaching – Professional and Coaching Development Opportunities
Pony Club coaches are the heart and fun of every rally and muster day—and staying current is all part of that. Attending an in-person coaching seminar at least once every four years is a great way to refresh your skills, keep up to date, and contribute towards your CPD points for coach accreditation renewal. These sessions are run by zones, states, and at national coaching conferences, making them accessible wherever you are.
From coaching techniques and discipline masterclasses through to horsemanship, horse first aid, nutrition, and daily care, there’s always something practical to take away. Just as valuable is the chance to connect with other coaches, share ideas, and build your network—it’s time well spent, both for you and your riders.
