In charge of the Junior Riding Program is Florida Native Holly Ward. Her life was filled with horses and riding from the moment she received her first pony at age 10. Pony Club soon followed where she took lessons from well-educated instructors. Attending many clinics from internationally known horsemen, she took an interest in furthering her riding ability, under the training of Claudia Harris in Dressage. Now working with children age 8 - 12 at the beginner level, she feels that the importance of correct riding and training methods needs to be established from the start. U.S. Pony Club guidelines are the basic structure of our Junior Riding Program. This provides an excellent structure to develop skills for proficiency on the flat, over fences and the cross country course.
