QUIZ

Quiz is a fun and educational Pony Club competition that focuses on horsemanship knowledge rather than riding skills. Competitors participate without their horses or ponies, making it an excellent opportunity for members to demonstrate what they have learned about horse care, riding theory, stable management, and Pony Club activities.

Quiz competitions combine both individual and team challenges. Participants first complete individual tests that assess their understanding of equine topics, and then work together in team games that reward knowledge, communication, and teamwork.

The competition typically consists of three components:

A Written Test  where competitors answer questions covering a wide range of horse and Pony Club subjects.

Visual Identification; Participants identify equipment, tack, horse-related items, and other equestrian objects from photographs or displays.

As a team competitors compete in knowledge-based games that challenge quick thinking and cooperation.

Individual scores contribute to the overall team result, encouraging members to prepare thoroughly while still working together toward a common goal.

Teams are organized according to age and experience level. Senior teams typically consist of two or three competitors, while other divisions generally have three or four members. Individuals and pairs are welcome to enter, and teams are often formed so everyone has the opportunity to compete.
