Racine County Pony Club

Racine County Pony Club is located within the Lake Shore Region with members from southeast Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

About Racine County Pony Club

The Racine County Pony Club, also called RCPC, is an active part of the United States Pony Club with around 50 members, both young and adult riders.
Started in 1967, RCPC began by offering lessons to Prairie School students in Racine using horses from a local stable. The supportive horse community in Caledonia helped the club grow. In 2007, with generous donations, RCPC opened its own equestrian center at 5518 Highway 31 in Racine. This center is where we hold lessons, clinics, and community events.

Mission Statement

The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. is an educational organization which builds the foundations of teamwork and sportsmanship through riding, mounted sports, care of horses and ponies, while developing and enhancing leadership, confidence, responsibility, and a sense of community in its youth and adult members.
