Why Your Sponsorship Matters

Make a tangible impact on young lives.

At Pony Club, But Better, we do more than teach horsemanship skills. We empower children to develop confidence, resilience, and empathy — skills that shape who they become as family members, students, and future community leaders. Your sponsorship ensures that every child, regardless of income or background, has an opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment.

Build a stronger community.

When businesses invest in local youth programs, they’re investing in the future of the entire community. Through hands-on horsemanship and social-emotional learning, kids gain tools that help them succeed beyond the barn — reducing the likelihood of future social issues and boosting community health. Your sponsorship directly contributes to a more vibrant, connected, and stable local area.

Promote Positive Horse-Human Relationships

As a sponsor, you support compassionate, science-based horsemanship that respects both horse and rider. By helping children learn gentle, respectful ways to communicate with horses, you’re also preserving the social license of equine sports — ensuring it remains a positive, community-backed tradition for generations to come.

Local Recognition (and all the good feels!)


Your generosity helps create life-changing experiences for underprivileged youth in our community. Please note that we operate as a private organization, not as a non-profit foundation or 501(c)(3) entity. As such, donations made to our summer camp program are not tax-deductible.


While you won't receive a tax benefit, your contribution funds camp scholarships that make our programs accessible to children who would otherwise be unable to attend. Every donation, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference in a child's life. For questions about our sponsorship program, please contact us.


In appreciation for your support, we’ll acknowledge your contribution on our website and in any local outreach. Plus, you’ll have the heartfelt knowledge that your generosity helped a child discover the magic of horses.
