Located in Carvin, France, our association brings together riders, equestrian enthusiasts, and supporters of all ages and experience levels. From the youngest beginner to the most experienced equestrian, Ponyland Team is dedicated to fostering a welcoming environment where everyone can explore, learn, and enjoy the world of horseback riding.

We understand that each member brings a unique perspective, skill level, and energy to our association, and we strive to create opportunities for all to develop their abilities and share in the joy of riding.
Our Origins and Community
Ponyland Team was established to create a space where people could come together around a shared love for horses. Our founders recognized the transformative power of equestrian activities and wanted to provide a platform that combined sporting excellence with educational and recreational opportunities. From its inception, our goal has been to foster a community where knowledge, respect, and passion converge, giving rise to experiences that are both enriching and enjoyable.
The heart of Ponyland Team is its members. Our community is diverse, consisting of children taking their first riding lessons, teenagers and young adults pursuing competitive equestrian activities, and adults who are seeking recreational engagement or educational experiences. This diversity is one of our greatest strengths, as it allows knowledge to flow across generations and experience levels, enriching everyone involved.
We are proud of the supportive atmosphere we have cultivated. At Ponyland Team, every member is encouraged to pursue their goals at their own pace, supported by experienced instructors, mentors, and fellow riders. Our association thrives on collaboration and mutual respect, ensuring that each person’s experience is positive, empowering, and safe.
