Welcome to Pony Club QLD
Pony Club Queensland (PCQ) is the beating heart of equestrian youth across the state—a vibrant community where riding is just the beginning. Here, inclusivity, education, safety, and camaraderie take centre stage.
Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned competitor, PCQ offers a welcoming space to grow. Members of all ages come together to learn not only the art of riding but also the essentials of horse care and welfare. It’s more than a club—it’s a place to belong.
Did you know many Olympic equestrians began their journey in a Pony Club? That’s the power of PCQ: it’s a launchpad for future legends, built on grassroots passion and lifelong learning.
At its core, Pony Club Queensland is where horse-loving youth discover life skills, build friendships, and unlock their inner equestrian superstar.
PCQ: 6,000+ Strong, 65 Years and Counting
Hold onto your saddles—Pony Club Queensland (PCQ) is a powerhouse in the equestrian world. With over 6,500 members and 185 clubs, it stands as the largest equestrian organisation in the state. From Mossman in the far north to Boulia and Barcoo out west, and all the way to the NSW border, PCQ’s reach is truly statewide.
For more than 65 years, this vibrant community has weathered it all—floods, droughts, and equine health challenges like Equine Influenza, Hendra, and Alyssa, not to mention the global disruption of COVID-19. Through it all, PCQ has remained resilient, keeping the spirit of horsemanship alive and thriving.
Whether you’re riding in the tropics, the outback, or along the border, PCQ is the heart of Queensland’s equestrian life. No matter the challenge, this community proves time and again that nothing can dampen their passion for horses.
More Than Just Riding….
At Pony Club Queensland, riding is only part of the journey. Yes, we’ll teach you the technical skills to become a confident rider, but our mission goes far beyond the saddle. It’s about shaping responsible, disciplined, and respectful individuals who carry those values into every aspect of life.
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Horses are magnificent partners—powerful, graceful, and inspiring—but they also require care, respect, and understanding. By learning to handle them safely, members develop not only horsemanship skills but also resilience, responsibility, and empathy.
Because at PCQ, it’s not just about riding—it’s about growing as a person while sharing the joy of horses.
Its not just about the young.
Here’s the scoop for the grown-ups—Pony Club® isn’t only for kids! It’s also a golden opportunity for adults to join the horse-loving community and play a vital role in keeping the spirit of Pony Club alive.
From taking on club leadership positions to coaching, officiating, or supporting behind the scenes, there are countless ways to get involved. Every role contributes to the success of the organisation and helps shape the next generation of riders.
And the best part? Lifelong friendships are often forged along the way. Pony Club® is as much about people as it is about horses, creating a community where everyone belongs.
