Each Zone has its own Committee and a Zone Chief Instructor whose duty it is to supervise and encourage the instruction policy within the Zone. Each Zone sends Councillors to Association meetings to determine general policy. Australia has the largest Pony Club membership in the world with just under 40,000 financial members. PCANSW is the largest of all the Member States of Pony Club Australia, with approximately 12,000 members at the end of 2019.
