About RCPC
Racine County Pony Club is part of the Lakeshore Region of the United States Pony Club organization. Our region consists of 13 clubs as far north as Superior, Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula down to southeastern Wisconsin.
The Racine County Pony Club (RCPC) was first chartered as a club in 1967, and began with a lesson program for Prairie School students with leased horses from a local stable. As the club grew, school horses were purchased and then leased out to pony club members. The early club was able to buy horses, fix up a tack room, build a riding ring and buy jumps. Horse people from the neighborhood were anxious to see this education of young people continue and Racine County Pony Club was formed with a board of directors and two riding instructors. Our club currently has approximately 34 active members ranging from 5 to 18 years of age, with rating levels of unrated through C3.
RCPC meets at the Racine County Pony Club Equestrian Center located at 5518 Highway 31 in Racine, Wisconsin. We are proud to note that this is the only Pony Club owned and operated equestrian center in the country. It was made possible through the volunteer efforts of our members, their parents and other pony club sponsors. In addition to local mounted clinics, we also hold our monthly meetings, camps, regional clinics, educational seminars and other social activities at the center. Many members board at the RCPC Equestrian Center, some board at local barns, others keep their horses at home, and some members borrow horses or ponies to ride in mounted activities. Children do not need to own a horse to belong to the club, however, they do need access to one when the activities are mounted clinics, camps or rally activities.
