TEAM HORSEMENS
In 2012 as a club we would like to implement a charter to the club called "Team Horsemens".
What is Team Horsemens?
"Team Horsemens" is all about making our club a better club for our members, our horses and ponies and for the future of the club. It is a place where every person is important. Its a place to have fun and be safe whilst enjoying equestrian activities.
Every one at HPC is part of "Team Horsemens" and we need every one to pitch in and help the club ensure that we can achieve our objectives, as we all know their is no "I" in team and as part of a club we need to work as a team to achieve H.O.R.S.E!
Horsemanship with respect to healthcare, nutrition, stable management, handling and riding a mount safely, correctly and with confidence.
Organized teamwork including cooperation, communication, responsibility, leadership, mentoring, teaching and fostering a supportive yet competitive environment.
Respect for the horse and self through horsemanship; for land through land conservation; and for others through service and teamwork.
Service by providing an opportunity for members, parents, and others to support the Pony Club program locally, regionally and nationally through volunteerism.
Education at an individual pace to achieve personal goals and expand knowledge through teaching others.
Horsemen's Pony Club with its affiliation with the Pony Club, is a world wide youth organisation for those interested in horses, ponies and riding and is part of the largest association of equestrian riders in the world.
We are a voluntary youth organisation which exists to promote the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people, encouraging in them an awareness of responsibility, sportsmanship and citizenship. Pony Club differs from other youth movements because the horse is used as the main centre of interest around which to cultivate strength of character and self-discipline.
The OBJECT of our Pony Club is to encourage young people to learn to enjoy all kinds of sport connected with horses and riding and to provide instruction in riding and to instill in members the proper care of their animals
Our core aims are to namely
1. To encourage members to ride and to learn to enjoy all approved kinds of sport connected with horses and riding
