Pony Prep

PonyPrep is THE place to practise online for Pony Club. You can learn more about every aspect of horsemastership and horse care by taking quizzes, watching videos and entering competitions to test your knowledge.

You can register for free and take part in the PonyPrep game, where you can build your dream stable yard, collect tack as you take challenges and learn more. You don’t have to own a horse to register (you don’t even need to be a Member of Pony Club, but after using PonyPrep we hope you might want to become one!).

Right now, PonyPrep is jam packed full of all the information you will need to pass your Pony Club C Efficiency Test, but the website is great fun for both more and less experienced riders.

Ready to start?  Then lets sign you up.
