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.
