Sandra CheekGUEST
have a bit of a Canadian accent, even though I've been down here for many years down here being the States.
Sandra CheekGUEST
I took riding lessons and I was in Pony Club, which was very wonderful program in Edmonton where I grew up and
Christina HykeHOST
gave me an opportunity to take riding
Sandra CheekGUEST
lessons and learn about horse management and care and equipment and all that stuff.
Sandra CheekGUEST
So it was really good.
Sandra CheekGUEST
But I got into Hunter Jumper because Pony Club is very British oriented and that's kind of where you end up.
Sandra CheekGUEST
I got my first horse and did Hunter Jumper with them through university pretty successfully and then had a long hiatus where I was a nomadic traveler.
Sandra CheekGUEST
in Europe for a while.
Hollie DoyleGUEST
Um, but it was always, you know, riding that was president.
Hollie DoyleGUEST
But, um, yeah, growing up I did pony club and all of the disciplines.
Hollie DoyleGUEST
You know, the triathlons.

Pippa FunnellHOST
...
Pippa FunnellHOST
I, I also think there's a real lack of that sort of education.
Pippa FunnellHOST
You know, I think you're lucky you came through the Pony Club.
Pippa FunnellHOST
I came through the Pony Club.
MariaHOST
This is why I'm just, I'm having a hard time with this is the current environment is not conducive to learning horsemanship skills.
MariaHOST
It's not what it was like when we were growing up and what a lot of individuals are like growing up where you had pony club.
MariaHOST
Like I think pony club still exists.
MariaHOST
So
NoraHOST
I actually like because my barn is very small.
NoraHOST
So, yeah.
NoraHOST
So, like, I actually have thought about it.
NoraHOST
And I'm like – because there's a pony club near us, Ragnar Hunt.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
And with British eventing over here now, you can compete at British eventing when you're 12.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
Like when I was growing up, you know, you did the pony club.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
right through.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
You didn't start eventing until you were a novice because there was nothing lower than novice.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
So you were going in at eight to 10.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
So everything you did was preparing you for that, whether that was Hunter Trials or Pony Club or whatever it was.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
So for me growing up, it was just about the horse really, you know, I, I enjoyed school.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
I enjoyed other things, but my holidays were spent.
Ros CanterGUEST
I've got two older sisters, but we're very close in age.
Ros CanterGUEST
So we had a great time galloping on the stubble fields, playing cowboys and Indians, pretending mum and dad were the baddies and we were trying to race away from them and just doing all Pony Club activities.
Ros CanterGUEST
And the eventing, I think, was really what kind of ticked mum's box the days out and going cross-country schooling and things like that.
Ros CanterGUEST
And she was very happy to ferry us around.
Ros CanterGUEST
We had a three horse trailer and our three ponies went in.
Ros CanterGUEST
And I think we became kind of quite well known in our teenage years because we all had grey horses.
Ros CanterGUEST
And one of our funniest memories is that we tied them all up, probably rather stupidly, to go and walk a course once at a Pony Club one day event.
Ros CanterGUEST
And they all got loose and went and rolled in a stubble field.
ArianeHOST
And over in Europe, we ride better.
ArianeHOST
But what are solutions that we have in this country to fix the rise of horsemanship and Pony club for sure.
ArianeHOST
So I actually went on the pony club website.
ArianeHOST
There's two in central Florida.
ArianeHOST
You can start your own pony club.
KristenHOST
And
ArianeHOST
I think that people that are great horsemen and horsewomen that have great horsemanship, I think utilize those people as a resource.
ArianeHOST
And I think that, you know, kindness
Glenn HebertHOST
So, you know, it's going to be fun to talk to her.
Glenn HebertHOST
And we found out after I booked this that my wife was in Pony Club with her.
Glenn HebertHOST
They were in the same Pony Club.
Glenn HebertHOST
Who wasn't your wife in Pony Club? I know, I know.
Glenn HebertHOST
So, you know, it's funny how life works out.
Glenn HebertHOST
But she moved around.
Glenn HebertHOST
She was only in this pony club for a short time.
Glenn HebertHOST
But Jennifer went, oh, I was in pony club with her.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
My mum bred a couple.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
I started eventing on a home bred and did the pony club area trials and the pony club championships.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
I did my first intermediate on him.
Alice Fox-PittGUEST
And I just have always had this passion for the horse.
Esme HiggsHOST
And she was like, "Oh, we met before." I was like, "Oh yeah, yeah.
Esme HiggsHOST
Pony Club conference nine years ago, probably don't remember." And I can't remember what our, how our conversation went 'cause I think I blacked out a little bit.
Esme HiggsHOST
But um, [laughs] it was something along the, along the lines of, "Oh yeah, you must have grown up a lot since then." 'Cause obviously, um, I'm s- I'm still, you know, I, I, I quite like to think of myself as still quite young.
Esme HiggsHOST
[laughs] Although the big 25 is quite scary.
Esme HiggsHOST
Quite a scary number.
Esme HiggsHOST
Um, but no, and then, and then she started asking me about Pony Club and I was like, and then [laughs] the World Horse Welfare lady was like, "Esme is a patron for World Horse." I was like, "Yes.
Esme HiggsHOST
This is, well I need to talk about World Horse Welfare." [laughs] That, that is the main charity.
Esme HiggsHOST
And then she quickly moved on.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a racing family, just always surrounded by horses and ponies.
