Pony Club, USPC Convention, Lincolnshire, IL.

Each year, Pony Club hosts the USPC Convention in a new location around the United States. You can find the 2026 USPC Convention in Lincolnshire, Ill., at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort, January 28–February 1, 2026. The event is open to the general public and includes extensive hands-on opportunities, such as the Anatomy Room, Horse Management Room, a variety of educational workshops, and the ability to connect with equine professionals from around the country.

The USPC Convention is the only time of year when the entirety of Pony Club comes together, which means, alongside the fun, we connect about the future of Pony Club. The first two days (Thursday and Friday) consist of leadership trainings. Friday afternoon begins the educational workshops around all topics horse, kicking off a weekend of fun and interactive learning for members and equine enthusiasts alike continuing into Saturday and Sunday. Saturday morning, we invite weekend and all-access attendees to join us for a complimentary continental breakfast at the Meeting of the Corporation. Then, enjoy the rest of the day perusing through the trade fair or attending a variety of educational workshops. Don’t forget to sign up for the evening event, the Saturday Night Banquet, for fine dining and the chance to dance the night away. And you won't want to miss out on grabbing souvenirs and spirit wear from Shop Pony Club, as Pony Club gear sells out fast. On Sunday afternoon, we begin saying our farewells as we pack up and begin planning for the next great USPC Convention.

Join us January 28–February 1, 2026 to connect with leaders, members, and friends from across the United States.
