Arête de Chêne Pony Club is a branch of the Canadian Pony Club residing at High Pointe. We who are active in Pony Club find that many people, even in the horse world, are unfamiliar with this international organization. On November 1st, 1929, the Institute of the Horse in Great Britain inaugurated a Junior Branch of their organization, known as "The Pony Club", for the purpose of interesting young people in riding and sport and at the same time offering the opportunity of higher instruction in this direction than many of them can obtain individually. This objective is still the driving force in Pony Club. The term "pony" refers to the young riders and not to the size of the horse. Our members ride all sizes of horses and ponies. The remarkable success of The Pony Club in Britain sparked interest for the establishment of Pony Clubs world wide. That interest is now represented in no less than 20 countries and has a membership exceeding 100,000.

Arête de Chêne Pony Club has members ranging in age from 7 to 17. We are a very active group with a good supportive group of parents and enthusiastic members.

 

The Saddle Club. High Pointe Saddle club is a not for profit, community-based, family-oriented organization comprised of members and volunteers that are dedicated to education and skill development in all disciplines pertaining to equine activities. The group helps to support the various shows, gymkhanas, drill teams, trail rides, clinics and more.
