As a member of the United States Pony Club, I stand for the best in
horsemanship, as well as sportsmanship.
I shall compete for the enjoyment of the game well
played, taking winning or losing in stride, remembering that without
good manners and good temper, sport loses its cause for being.
I shall endeavor to maintain the best traditions of
the ancient and noble skill of horsemanship, always treating my horse
with the consideration due a partner,
I shall strive at all times to uphold the high ideals
of the Pony Club and my country.
Our Ideal is to produce a thoroughly happy,
comfortable horseman, ridding across a natural country, with complete
confidence and perfect balance on a pony equally happy and confident
and free from bewilderment or pain.
