The Pony Club Mounted Games can trace their lineage back to His Royal Highness Prince Philip, who devised the event back in 1956 as a way of training and developing young riders in activities based on competitions run for Cavalry regiments.

Branches enter teams consisting of four or five members, plus a reserve, containing ordinary children on ordinary ponies. The games provide The Pony Club with an exciting competition, which requires courage, determination and all-round riding ability on behalf of the rider, not to mention careful training of the pony. Teams taking part will be announced in due course.
