It was the first pony club in Catalonia.<\/p><p>To develop the project, we drew on the experience of countries such as France, England and the Netherlands, where equestrian traditions are deeply rooted and pony riding is common.<\/p><p>We renovated old stables, adapted them for children and imported our first Irish ponies. After some challenging early years, families began to discover the benefits of these small horses, which children can handle, ride and love.<\/p><p>In 1990, we organised the first Catalan Pony Championships in show jumping, dressage and cross-country, with more than 90 participants. The third championships followed in 1992, after further imports of ponies from Ireland and France.<\/p><p>As the club grew, we introduced horse livery and lessons for adults. Today, we have around 40 horses in livery, 15 club horses and 25 ponies of different sizes for beginners, skill development and competition.<\/p><p>In 1998, we created the Petita Escola de Ponis for children aged 3 to 6, introducing Shetland ponies and separate facilities adapted to our youngest pupils.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
