PHOTO PAGE Pictures of Our Great Members Doing Amazing Things!	WHY DO WE DO THIS? "Our purpose is not to make Olympic riders, though we will take great pride in any Pony Clubber who can reach that height.  It is not to turn out highly polished riders mounted on expensive horses, though we all admire the picture when treated to it.  It is not to turn every child into an "A" rider.  ...It is to provide every child with a backyard horse or pony the opportunity to develop his or her skill in riding and horse care... It is to instill in them a love for horses and an ability to care for and enjoy horses for the rest of their lives and through this contribute to the development as well-rounded, self-disciplined, responsible citizens.  If we have done these things, we will have done our job." -Rufus Wesson, USPC President 1970-72
