Presentation

Pony Games originated in England in the late 1950s, and its popularity was immediate and widespread. Today, this sport has spread beyond its original borders. Adaptable to all audiences, Pony Games offers an innovative approach to riding, based on play and competition: children are put in a position to learn independently in a fun and stimulating way, with an animal their size and without the risk of feeling overwhelmed. For the instructor, it provides a wide range of teaching methods.

The main focus of Pony Games is competition; technicality is not an end in itself, but rather a means to becoming more proficient. Additionally, the relationship with the animal, integration within a team, and adherence to specific rules promote the development of human qualities such as courage, clarity of mind, sense of responsibility, and respect for others. The primary goal of this discipline is not to replicate a model, but rather to achieve autonomy and ease through play. It is an educational and sportive activity suitable for all children and even adults, particularly well-suited for school environments. Its pedagogical principle aims to create a desire in each rider to learn and to excel in harmony with their pony, in order to contribute to their team's success. Team spirit and a taste for competition are the driving forces behind Pony Games.
