Can you help shape the future of The Pony Club?
Join our Board of Trustees and play a vital role in guiding the organisation and supporting the delivery of our ambitious 2026-2030 strategy, continuing to nurture the next generation of equestrians.
The Pony Club is a voluntary youth organisation where young people develop, learn, and grow through engagement with horses. Founded in 1929, we are proud to be planning our centenary celebrations while expanding an inclusive community of over 30,000 members, supported by around 10,000 volunteers.
Our Vision is to provide everyone with the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of horses through fun, friendship, horsemanship and sport.
Our Charitable Purpose has three strands:
- To promote and advance the education and understanding of the public, particularly children and young people, in all matters relating to horsemanship and the horse.
- To encourage the development of sportsmanship, unlocking potential by building resilience, confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills.
- To support and develop the volunteering network to strengthen The Pony Club community and sustain lifelong engagement with equestrianism.
Our purpose and strategy are underpinned by organisational foundations: strong governance, digital innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, ensuring The Pony Club remains resilient, responsible, and equipped for the future.
We are seeking to appoint one or more Trustees for the period commencing 1st January 2026 to replace those due to retire and to strengthen our existing Board of eight Trustees. We welcome applications from individuals who share our Vision and are eager to help deliver The Pony Club’s charitable purpose and ambitious 2026–2030 strategy.

- Finance and business management – including financial planning, reporting, or HR expertise
- Digital innovation and IT – experience leading digital transformation, platforms, or technology initiatives
- Marketing, communications, and brand strategy – including digital and social media campaigns
- Membership and volunteer-led organisations – experience supporting, contributing to, or leading volunteer or membership-based groups
- Equestrian knowledge – understanding of the equestrian sector and horse welfare
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion – ability to enhance the Board’s inclusivity and reach
Expectations of Trustees
- Pony Club Trustees are elected for an initial term of three years and may offer themselves for re-election for further three-year terms, up to a maximum of nine years.
- The Board of Trustees meets six times a year, a mix of virtual and in-person meetings.
- Trustees may be invited to attend Pony Club events such as the Championships, the Pony Club Conference, and Trustee away days.
