When Al Capony arrived at Marta Soscia’s childhood barn a decade ago, it took a true paint lover to look beyond the 13.2-hand pony’s scraggly appearance, awkward conformation and “the longest mane you’ve ever seen” to appreciate the farm’s new arrival. Soscia, then a teen, helped develop the kill-pen rescue into a trusty kids’ pony. Years later, she discovered that "Caponi" had gone on to shape the riding journeys of other young Pony Clubbers.

Pony Clubbers! 🦄 Think of an Arabian or part Arabian you know.

Did you know? Arabian horses have one fewer vertebrae than other horses, as well as one less pair of ribs! Test your horse skeleton knowledge on the Inner Workings: The Skeleton course over on Allpony.com!

Pony Club Members- let’s discuss this!

USPC has an exciting new program coming in 2026! The USPC High Point Program was created to connect USPC with equine communities around the country by recognizing USPC members as ambassadors at shows or events outside of USPC.
Any show, horse trial, or event accredited or recognized by certain organizations* may apply for levels to be awarded at their event. Shows occurring in 2026 are invited to have their show secretaries apply now for the program!
* To find a complete list of recognized organizations, please visit ponyclub.org/activities/awards

Pony Clubbers! Here is a great plan for January!

A new year means a new chance to earn points for the Member Achievement Program! There are several national and regional opportunities to start the year off with points for the Member Achievement Program! Make sure you don't miss out on your local and regional events this month! Remember, points only count if you register on or before the date of the event!
