The Pony Club Quiz Area Competitions

Sunday 1st March 2026

Full details, including timings and venues, will be available on the relevant Area websites, so please make sure to check these regularly for the most up-to-date information.

The Pony Club Quiz is designed to be an inclusive and engaging competition, open to both ridden and non-ridden Centre and Branch members. It offers a wonderful opportunity for young people to come together, share their enthusiasm for horses and ponies, and put their equestrian knowledge to the test. Working in teams, members can challenge themselves, learn new facts, and celebrate their passion for the equestrian world in a supportive and friendly environment.

Not only is the Quiz a chance to showcase knowledge, but it also helps develop confidence, teamwork, and communication skills—qualities that are valuable both within and beyond Pony Club life. Whether members are seasoned competitors or taking part for the first time, it is always a fun and memorable experience.

Teams

  • Mini Section– Teams of four- Ages to be 10 years and under on the 1st of January of competition year, with one member to be 8 years and under.
  • Junior/Senior Section– Teams of four- must have two junior members (ages to be 14 years and under)  and then two of any age up to 25.
  • The competition comprises of a Mini and Junior/Senior competition. All teams can be made up with one member only who has also competed at another level in this year’s competition provided they are eligible. Complete teams may not compete at more than one level.
  • Inter-Area Senior Friendly Competition – Each area can enter up to TWO teams directly into the national finals with no qualification required. Members must be aged between 16-25 years.

Ideally we would rather have teams of four, but if you cannot get a 4th member then we will allow teams of 3 to Area and Final Competition. If you have a team of 3 then the ages rule apply:

All ages will be taken from the 1st January of the competition year.
