Volunteer Awards 2026

The Pony Club is proud to celebrate its incredible volunteers, whose long service of between 20 and 60 years has been recognised through the prestigious Cubitt Award presentations at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and across Area events. Their commitment reflects an extraordinary generosity of time, knowledge and experience, supporting countless young people and horses over the years.

We also extend our warmest congratulations to Kate Cockle of the Isle of Wight Branch, named Secretary of the Year, Jane Cepok, who was awarded the 60 Year Cubitt Bar, and to Wendy Barnes of Oakley Hunt West Branch, who was honoured with the DAKS Volunteer of the Year Award. These achievements highlight the dedication and passion at the heart of The Pony Club—contributions that are truly valued and deeply appreciated.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate the outstanding number of Gold Young Equestrian Leaders Award participants who completed their awards and were presented at the Royal Windsor Horse Show – an exceptional cohort demonstrating a remarkably high standard, true future DCs and leaders, and a fantastic achievement by you all, very well done.

Nominations for The Volunteer Awards 2027 will open on 1st June 2026.
