Fox Sponsors Bluegrass Pony Club, Local Organization with Similar Core Values

Fox Pest Control’s Lexington branch is excited to announce that it is now a sponsor of the Bluegrass Pony Club.

The Bluegrass Pony Club, which was established in 2006, is a member of the United States Pony Clubs (USPC). According to the USPC, the mission of the organization and its member clubs is to “develop character, leadership, confidence and a sense of community in youth through a program that teaches the care of horses and ponies, riding and mounted sports.”

Located here in Lexington, the Bluegrass Pony Club helps develop horse management and riding skills through a variety of activities, including an annual camp, monthly field trips to local horse farms and equine-related businesses and lectures from equine professionals. Additionally, Club members compete in a variety of events including show jumping, mounted games, and dressage. 

What we love most about the Bluegrass Pony Club is the organization’s Core Values align very closely with the core values of our business. 

The Bluegrass Pony Club’s core values, which fittingly spell out ‘horse’, include: 

• Horsemanship with respect to healthcare, nutrition, stable management, handling and riding a mount safely, correctly and with confidence.

• Organized teamwork including cooperation, communication, responsibility, leadership, mentoring, teaching and fostering a supportive yet competitive environment.

• Respect for the horse and self through horsemanship; for land through land conservation; and for others through service and teamwork.

• Service by providing an opportunity for members, parents, and others to support the Pony Club program locally, regionally and nationally through volunteerism.

• Education at an individual pace to achieve personal goals and expand knowledge through teaching others

While we don’t have any horse-specific core values at Fox, we’re quite aligned when it comes to teamwork, service, volunteerism, and building and strengthening relationships. 

It’s an honor to be able to support organizations in our community. Especially when we are so closely aligned in what we value.
