"As a member of the United States
Pony Club, I stand for the best in
sportsmanship 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"
