USPC Championships
Each year United States Pony Clubs (USPC) offers Championship competitions in seven disciplines; Dressage, Eventing, Show Jumping, Games, Polocrosse, Tetrathlon, and Quiz (non-riding, knowledge based competition). Championships generally follow the same format as a Standard Rally. Members compete as part of a team from their region (or on scramble teams) and are judged on riding abilities as well as horse management skills. Every three years USPC Championships is held at the Kentucky Horse Park immediately prior to an educational offering by USPC and called Festival. Visit the USPC website for more general information about Championships.
In 2023, USPC Championships is being held at the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in Tryon NC.
