Youth Advisory Council

What is the Youth Advisory Council? 

Our Youth Advisory Council is a diverse group of Pony Club Members aged between 14 and 25 who meet six times a year to support and shape developments within The Pony Club. The Council has the following aims:

  • To be a representative group of current Pony Club Members with varied experiences of the organisation, including membership type, geographic location and lived experience.
  • To advise the Management Committee and to work closely with Pony Club Staff to amplify the youth voice in matters affecting the interests of Pony Club Members.
  • To ensure The Pony Club is a welcoming, inclusive organisation for young people to join, by providing advice and recommendations on developments within the organisation.

Career Conversations: Insights with Equine Professionals 

The Youth Advisory Council organises and hosts this limited series of live webinars for Pony Club Members, with the first webinar held on January 30, 2025. In this session, Members can explore equine career opportunities in London, with our guests answering a range of interesting questions on their profession.

Gain insights from our expert guests: Major Dan McRink (Regimental Veterinary Officer, The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment), Phillip Warren (Former Liveried Helper, The Royal Mews), and Joe Talbot & Ellie Mitchel (Mounted Gunners, The King’s Troop).

Youth Advisory Council Members are appointed for a three-year term, or until they reach the age of 25. You will need to be available to attend online evening meetings, usually six per calendar year.
