Tests: AH & B+ Test
“Hi my name is Olivia and this is my second year being a member of the International Quiz Team. I’m so excited to be part of another fantastic team and I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the competition!
I am originally from the North of England and am an active member of my branch with my horse Rhua. I am a coach and assessor working with my branch and other branches accross the North. I enjoy teaching younger members in a variety of disciplines from quiz and horse and pony care to musical ride and camp.
I also enjoy volunteering and supporting the branch teams across the disciplines, and in 2022 I was presented my Gold Young Equestrian Leaders Award. I can’t wait to catch up with old friends and meet the Pony Club teams from around the world!”
Ella Bubb
Branch: Crawley and Horsham Hunt
Tests: A
“My name is Ella Bubb and I am a member of Crawley and Horsham Hunt Pony Club since I was 3 years old! I am an A Test holder and a PCCC Level 3 qualified coach. I work with horses full time and thoroughly enjoy coaching regularly in mine and surrounding branches. I have a small yard, and as well as training and schooling liveries, I have evented and showjumped internationally and enjoy taking an active part in many Pony Club disciplines with my horses. A highlight of my Pony Club career would definitely be travelling to Kentucky USA as part of the UK PCIA team for the International Quiz Exchange last year. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime and I am very much looking forwards to giving the PCIA quiz another go this year!”

I enjoy competing for my branch at Area competitions and the National Championships in Dressage, Eventing, Horse & Pony Care and the Quiz. As well as this, I have nearly finished my Gold YELA Award and I have started my journey as a young coach. I have made lots of friends at Pony Club and have learnt so much too. I am honoured to represent the UK Pony Club in the PCIA Quiz!”
Meg Hopkinson
Branch: South Nottinghamshire
Tests: AH
“I’ve been a proud member of Pony Club since 2003, with a passion that has taken me through nearly every discipline the Club offers. For several years, I focused on horse and pony care, deepening my knowledge and love for all things equine. More recently, I’ve been active on both the youth and international youth committees, helping shape the future of Pony Club from the inside. I’ve just bought my horse, Blue, and it’s been amazing to be back at rallies and camp again! I also enjoy coaching our younger members and, along with a friend, I’m excited to be leading the musical ride for 2026.”
