What you can expect from Pony Club:
Pony Club is for anyone of any age or experience, who is interested in horses and riding. There are ten levels, called ratings, with defined standards for each level. All Pony Club members test for each rating when they are ready. Each rating includes riding tests, stable management, and oral testing. Testing for the first five ratings (D1, D2, D3, C1, and C2) are done by local examiners. Ratings C3 and above are done by national examiners. The upper levels require a high degree of skill, knowledge, and horsemanship experience.
