The International Exchange and Special Opportunities Fund supports all competitive and cultural exchanges in which United States Pony Clubs (USPC or Pony Club) members participate, and particularly when USPC hosts an exchange. These international exchanges afford each participant a new cultural educational experience, often with a competitive team endeavor, whether hosted in the United States or abroad. Most exchange trips last a couple of weeks. Members travel with their team and stay with a host family in the country where they are competing. Exchanges are offered in the disciplines of Dressage, Eventing (Inter-Pacific Exchange), Foxhunting, Mounted Games, Quiz, and Tetrathlon.
