Welcome to the home page of the Rockwall County Pony Club!

RCPC is affiliated with the United States Pony Club and is open to individuals between the ages of 6 and 25 who live in or near Rockwall County. Children under the age of 8 must be taking regular lessons, either own or lease their own horse/pony, and be approved by the DC to join.

Pony Club is designed to create horsemen - people who not only know how ride well, but also how to care well for their horses. Several Pony Clubbers have gone on to become members of international equestrian teams, including the US Olympic team! Pony Club develops leadership skills, fosters responsibility, and teaches kids how to work as a team - all while learning about one of their favorite subjects!

* Updates 10/18/07
Regional dues for 2008 will be $25.

* Parents, if you would like to order a polo shirt ($20), a windsuit ($60 for the jacket, $5 for the name embroidered if you want, and $25 for the pants) please email Rhonda ( rslinehan@aol.com ) or call her 972-772-2706 and let her know. 

*  To help solve our continued quandry over putting together our tack boxes for rally, we have decided to institute a $50 fee for every new girl going to rally for the first time.  (This would be tax-deductible, I think??)  This will help purchase the needed equipment, as well as restock when things get used up, expire, etc.  So if you are going to rally for the first time, please submit that.
