Mounted Games in Pony Club are one of the most popular disciplines, providing members of all ages and ability with a fast paced, fun activity that teaches riding skills in an exciting and teamwork-driven environment. Members compete on teams of four or five riders and have several opportunities to compete both nationally and internationally. Ponies are the preferred mount as their shorter stature makes several of the races easier to play. Games included have names such as Bottle Race, Balloon Race, Tool Box, Five Flag, and Mug Shuffle.
