About us:
The Wayne-Dupage Hunt Pony Club (WDHPC) is one of 13 member clubs of the North Central Prairie Region (NCPR) of the United States Pony Club (USPC). Our club was founded in 1955  by Mr. & Mrs Corwith Hamill. Mrs. Hamill served as the first DC and truly believed in the Pony Club goal to provide children with backyard horses an opportunity to develop their riding and horse management skills. Also to instill in them a love & ability to care of horses thoughout their adult life.  Since it's inception, the programs of the WDHPC were strongly supported by parents, hunt members and friends.
Today, more than  50 years later, the club is still strongly supported by parents, the hunt & the Wayne and nearby community, and is no longer just for children with "back yard ponies". The WDHPC is open to any child who has a passion for horses, and an interest in pursuing their dreams...

The Pony Club Pledge

"As a member of the United States Pony Club,I stand for the best in portsmanship as well as in horsemanship.  I shall compete for the enjoyment of the game well played and take winning or losing in stride, remembering that without  good manners and good temper, sport loses its cause for being.  I shall endeavor to maintain the best tradition of the ancient and noble skill of horsemanship, always treating my horse with consideration due a partner."
