USHJA Pony Derby classes are an important part of developing the next generation of riders and professionals in our sport. These classes provide invaluable opportunities for young riders to build track, boldness, precision, and effective decision-making in the ring while gaining experience in a competitive yet educational environment. By introducing riders to derby-style competition at a young age, the sport creates a strong foundation for future success and horsemanship. Looking to enter in a USHJA Pony Derby with your pony?
