Pony Stars

Welcome to Pony Stars

Pony Stars is a young rider, challenge award scheme for under 12s to discover, develop and nurture their love for ponies and the outdoors. With lots topics for children to explore, Pony Stars will build knowledge and cement friendships that will last a lifetime. With four key groups, Pony Stars enables long-term progression with a range of activities that will develop knowledge, skills and self-confidence. In each group your junior riders will work through sets of challenges that make up topics within set themes.

There are four colourful and engaging My Challenge Books, one for each group, for junior riders to progress through. The My Challenge Books have been designed to progress with the child as they grow older within the programme; so each book becomes more sophisticated in terms of language and design.

How it Works

To order the Challenge book and enrol your riders you will need to:

1. Sign into the EC Pro booking portal
2. Look at the 08:00 Monday morning session which will display as the four groups and their member pack. (these will be every Monday, but you only need to enrol once per rider challenge book) and select the challenge that is suitable for your rider.
3. Pay for the challenge enrolment. (this will allow us to order the book and add the rider to the rider challenge group. 
4. This will then allow you to see the challenge sessions available to that rider and book them as you would a normal lesson)

A lot of the topics have 2 levels (1 and 2 stars).  They will be awarded the 1 star award (in the form of a sticker to go in their challenge books) for completing the session to the leaders satisfaction with the option of upgrading it to two stars by completing (and returning) the optional homework, and gain a 2 star sticker for the challenge book.

There is no time scale to complete the challenges, and the topics will continue on a cycle to allow new comers and catching missed sessions.  You do not need to finish one challenge book before you move on, as long as the age and riding ability match all you have to do is get the new challenge book.
