Tejas hosts monthly meetings which typically include a 1 to 1.5 hour ride session, plus 1 hour unmounted horse management lesson. Horse Management topics may range from basic stable management to healthcare, land conservation, travel safety, etc. As members progress through the levels, they are encouraged to take on mentoring and/or teaching roles during meetings. Meeting locations vary depending upon facilities needed for that session. We also offer certification days 3-4 times per year where members can test to attain their rating.

Lone Star is a member of the Rio Grande Region of Pony Club. Throughout the year, our region will sponsor 5-7 events, including competitions (known as "rallies"), mounted or unmounted teaching days, special clinics, or playdays. Regional events are a great way to meet pony clubbers from all over Texas, and offer a chance to incorporate valuable teamwork skills. The region also hosts a week-long English intensive summer camp each June, held in Bellville, TX. Campers receive instruction in dressage, stadium jumping and cross-country jumping, as well as horse management.
