Pony club requires a membership with national ($155) and regional ($40), both paid yearly. The monthly cost for pony club is $90 per month. This is non-cancelable, non-refundable, and paid at the first pony club meeting of the month. There are no make-ups for missed pony club lessons. If you do not have your own horse and would like to use a Rocky Branch horse or pony, you must be enrolled in weekly lessons additionally. 

Pony club meets two times per month for Horse Management on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 4-5 pm. Horse Management is a HUGE part of pony club. Pony Club members also ride a minimum of 2 times per month in addition to their regular weekly lessons.
