The Burton Hunt Branch of the Pony Club was established in 1947.
The branch covers the area immediately surrounding and to the north of the city of Lincoln, bounded to the west by the settlements of Saxilby, Torksey, Gate Burton, Knaith, Lea, Gainsborough, Morton.
At this point the boundary moves to the east: Blyton Grayingham, Waddingham, Great Sturton, Snitterby, Bishopbridge. Market Rasen, then moving south to Linwood, Ranby, Baumber, Stainfield and Bardney.
The Fossdyke Navigation marks the southern boundary to the west of Lincoln and River Witham to the east.
Throughout the year we hold a programme of both mounted and dismounted rallies, training and competitions. We cater for all ages and abilities, from lead rein to advanced members, with the opportunity to progress through Pony Club tests. We run regular training for mounted games, show jumping, dressage, eventing, the musical ride and the horse and pony care competition and quiz. The branch enters teams for most disciplines, in qualifying events for the Pony Club National Championships. The highlight of the year for many members is our annual summer camp.
All our members are equally important. We want to help members grow as individuals and we want to celebrate each member’s achievements of their personal goals. We are a team and we want to be accessible, inclusive and open and to develop a nurturing culture in which the older members help the younger members to learn.
