The week-long USPC Festival is held every other year at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky. More than 3,000 Pony Club members, volunteers, and families participate, and the public comes to enjoy the festivities as spectators. Anyone is welcome. USPC Festival is divided up into two parts: Education and Championships. Mounted and unmounted clinics and workshops taught by Olympians, Pony Club experts, and equine industry professionals are held the first part of the week, followed by the National Championships in eight disciplines, plus open competitions in three more. Throughout the week, participants, family, and visitors can shop at the USPC Festival trade fair, participate in and watch the mock foxhunt, and enjoy all aspects of Pony Club activities.
Support the event and connect with Pony Club members in the trade fair or through a variety of sponsorship opportunities.
The event will kick off with three days of Education (July 13–16), followed by the USPC Festival Championships (July 16–19).
