Support the Next Generation of Riders at Cherry Orchard Pony Club

Nestled in the heart of south-west Dublin, Cherry Orchard Pony Club has been transforming the lives of young people since 2005. Unlike other branches of the Irish Pony Club, our members don’t need to own a pony—the club provides access to ponies at the Cherry Orchard Equine Centre, making horsemanship accessible to all.

Our club is more than just riding lessons. We nurture teamwork, confidence, and sportsmanship in a safe and inclusive environment for young people aged 10–24. From weekly riding and stable management lessons to annual pony camps and public musical ride displays, Cherry Orchard Pony Club offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and community engagement.

Many of our past members have gone on to careers in the equine industry, from racing to instruction, demonstrating the lasting impact of our programs. But beyond career pathways, the club provides a sense of identity, belonging, and pride for young people in a community that faces significant social and economic challenges.

Why Sponsorship Matters
Sponsorship helps us continue offering life-changing opportunities to children and young people who might otherwise miss out. Your support enables us to:

  • Keep activities accessible to all, regardless of background
  • Provide essential riding equipment and gear
  • Offer structured lessons, competitions, pony camps, and excursions
  • Expand opportunities for local youth to explore the equine industry

The Impact of Your Support
By partnering with Cherry Orchard Pony Club, sponsors help create opportunities for young people to develop confidence, responsibility, and teamwork. Beyond personal growth, sponsorship strengthens community cohesion and celebrates achievement, all while supporting a safe and structured environment for youth engagement.

In return, sponsors gain:

  • Acknowledgement for supporting inclusive opportunities for young people within the local community
  • Visible recognition at Pony Club events and across our communication channels
  • An opportunity to support a trusted, community-based programme that makes a real difference in young people’s lives

Your support ensures Cherry Orchard Pony Club can continue to inspire, educate, and empower young riders for years to come.
