About Oregon Trail
The United States Pony Clubs, Inc., develops character, leadership, confidence and a sense of community in youth through a program that teaches the care of horses and ponies, riding and mounted sports.
Oregon Trail Pony Club meets once or twice a month for mounted lessons generally on a Saturday or Sunday. These can be a flat/dressage, jump or combined lesson and are given in small groups, with the largest group being four riders. Our lessons are up to an hour in length and the groups are based on age, ability and experience.
Our unmounted meeting which includes an educational component for members and a business portion for sponsors is on the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. We normally have our members present their homework assignment which they worked on during the month to the sponsors and guests followed by a fellow Pony Club member or a professional in the equine industry.
Our excellent regular instructor is Lyn Simard from Far Hill Farm as well as dressage lessons at the Lake Oswego Hunt Club with a variety of trainers.
USPC Pony Clubs and Riding Centers are assigned to one of 41 geographical regions, which are administered by a volunteer Regional Supervisor (RS) and other appointed and elected officers. Regions offer additional activities and opportunities for members and support for the club and center leaders under their administration.
Oregon Trail Pony Club is part of the Oregon Region.
