Welcome to the Instruction Resource Pages! These pages were developed to assist clubs, centers and regions in planning their instruction programs by providing lesson plans, study guides, and other tools to establish a successful program. The items on these pages are a compilation of materials produced over the years by committees, individuals, clubs, centers and regions.
For our members, you'll find items that will help you understand your equine friend better, hone your riding skills, and prepare you for your next certificate or certification level. For our instructors, leaders, and members who are teaching or learning to teach, you will find lesson plans, activities, games, and ideas on how to make Pony Club fun!
