River Valley Pony Club (RVPC) is a local (Spartanburg Co., SC and Polk Co., NC) chapter of the United States Pony Club (USPC) and part of USPC's Carolina Region. The mission of USPC is to provide a program for youth that teaches riding, mounted sports and the care of horses and ponies, thereby developing responsibility, moral judgment, leadership and self-confidence.

RVPC is run by and dependent on parent participation and volunteers. As a supplement to your personal weekly riding program, RVPC offers small group riding instruction throughout the year for children seven to twenty-five years of age. Each rider provides his/her own mount for all mounted lessons. Programs are offered in dressage, eventing, show jumping, mounted games, tetrathlon, quiz, vaulting, foxhunting and polo crosse.

During "unmounted" meetings members learn about feeding, shoeing, veterinary care, and other areas of horse management. Under adult supervision, the more experienced Pony Club members instruct and assist younger members.

In Pony Club, the word “pony” is used for all mounts used by young people, regardless of size or breed.

You are encouraged to check out USPC's Parent Answer Booklet which will be able to answer many of you questions, even those you haven't thought of yet!
