Building confidence, knowledge, and lifelong friendships through the love of horses.
The Alberta South Region is one of the 12 Regions of the Canadian Pony Club.
Founded on strong grassroots principles, the Canadian Pony Club is built around local branches that provide education, instruction, and opportunities for riders to develop their skills and horsemanship.
Each branch operates its own educational and riding programs and hosts a variety of events and competitions.
Across Canada, branches are organized into 12 geographic regions. These regional organizations support and oversee branch operations while providing additional educational programs, resources, and activities that may be beyond the scope of individual branches.
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster horsemanship, sportsmanship, leadership, and personal growth by providing a safe, supportive, and educational environment where young people can develop their riding skills, care for their horses, and build lasting connections within the Pony Club community.
At Alberta South Region, we believe learning extends far beyond the saddle. Through educational programs, competitions, volunteer opportunities, and community involvement, members gain valuable life skills including responsibility, teamwork, confidence, and leadership. We promote excellence in horsemanship, encourage integrity and respect, and strive to create an inclusive environment where members, families, and volunteers feel welcomed and supported. The safety and well-being of both riders and horses remain at the heart of everything we do.
About Our Region
Incorporated in 2024, the Alberta South Region supports 13 branches and approximately 200 members across Southern Alberta. Our region is committed to providing opportunities that inspire members to learn, achieve their goals, and develop a lifelong appreciation for horses and equestrian sport.
