About Marin County
The United States Pony Clubs, Inc., develops character, leadership, confidence and a sense of community in youth through a program that teaches the care of horses and ponies, riding and mounted sports.
Marin County Pony Club's regular meetings are held twice a month in Bolinas and Western Petaluma. Membership varies, but there is an average of 8-10 riders of various abilities taking part in club lessons and activities.
MCPC is for the child who wants to learn more than can be learned in one riding lesson per week. It is for the family concerned about responsibility, self-discipline and teamwork. Therefore, we teach all aspects of horsemanship and stable management and evaluate these skills through the USPC certification system.
MCPC currently has very few mounts available for mounted lessons. Members with horses are welcome to haul in for the day, especially in Bolinas.
We encourage anyone interested in learning more about our program to visit one of our mounted meetings. Dates can be found on the Calendar page of this website.
USPC Pony Clubs and Riding Centers are assigned to one of 41 geographical regions, which are administered by a volunteer Regional Supervisor (RS) and other appointed and elected officers. Regions offer additional activities and opportunities for members and support for the club and center leaders under their administration.
Marin County Pony Club is part of the Sierra Pacific Region.
Visit the region's website for the contact information for the Regional Officers.
