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 Dengie 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.
