The USPC is a valuable organization for young riders to learn proper horsemanship and excel in the discipline of their choice. The organization has been around since 1928 in England led by the Calvary Officers. Currently there are over 600 Clubs located in 48 States with over 12,000 members nationally.

The mission statement is as follows; “In order to develop and encourage among children throughout the United States a knowledge of horsemanship, including the care of horses, to encourage fair and friendly competition, to develop understanding and sympathy for the horse by its rider, and by these and other means to help develop in young riders strength of character, alert minds and sound bodies.”
