Pony Club decentralized structure

The Pony Club operates as a continental organization with a decentralized structure, meaning it has multiple regional and national branches that manage their own activities and standards. Each branch sets local policies, organizes events, and supports members, while following overall guidelines from the central organization to ensure consistency. This setup allows regions to adapt to local needs and resources, fostering a sense of community and ownership. The central body provides overarching rules, training frameworks, and resources, but the day-to-day operations and decision-making are handled locally, promoting flexibility and responsiveness across diverse areas.
