Stable Management
At Tumpy Green Pony Club we put equal importance to the stable management and horse care aspects of equestrianism, as to the riding aspects.
We aim to help our members gain a rounded level of knowledge, to enable them to care for a horse or pony.
The Pony Club offers Mini Achievement Badges for younger Members’ as well as both equine and non-equine Achievement Badges. Both types of achievement badge will help you to learn a wide range of skills like first-aid, farming, map reading, saddlery, road safety and grooming.
- Mini Achievement Badges
- Equine Achievement Badges
- Non-Equine Achievement Badges
- Competition Badges
- Intro Competition Badges
The Pony Club also have a fantastic website to help Members improve their knowledge;
