The US Pony Club has an achievement program for its younger members to earn badges by completing various mounted and unmounted subjects. The Three Brothers Pony Club participates in the USPC Badge program and tries to schedule ‘badge Camps’ several times a year. The subjects taught in the achievement badge program are at a beginner, D1/D2 level. Not only does the badge program ensure the subject matter is being taught the ‘pony club way,’ but provides an opportunity for our older and/or higher-rated members to teach, earning them the much-needed teaching and ‘giving back’ requirements for their future ratings.
Three Brothers Pony Club will try to have several “Badge Camps” per year where the members can complete the requirements for Several of the badges. Three Brothers will supply the workbook to each participating member. The badges will be given out at the end of the Camp to any member who completed the requirements.
What subjects are covered in the USPC Badge program? See the workbooks below.
Badges may be displayed in various ways, such as sewn onto a favorite jacket, sweatshirt, or saddle pad. Or they may be velcro-ed to a favorite ribbon. The USPC sells a blue ribbon for this purpose.
However, if you choose to display your badges, remember to bring them to all pony club competitions to display your accomplishments!
