Annually, the United State Pony Clubs Games Committee selects a team to participate in an International Exchange between Great Britain, Canada, the United States, and Australia. The hosting of the exchange is rotated among the countries involved. The exchange fulfills the goals and mission of USPC by providing a horse-related fun and educational experience for Pony Club members. To that end, the emphasis of the three-week tour is a cultural exchange among the teams from the participating countries because it offers a variety of educational experiences unique to the host country. The competition, which takes place between teams from the participating countries at the end of the tour, is secondary to the main purpose of the exchange: making friends and learning about the people, customs, and culture of the host country.
