The pony club training structure encourages Members to take tests and earn badges which enables them to learn progressively about horse & pony care and riding. Tests are taken at reccommended ages and are designed with certain objectives in mind, to help members become practical and knowledgable riders, proficient in caring for horses and ponies. The pinnacle test is \u2018A\u2019<\/p>\n

The \u2018A\u2019 test is recognised worldwide . Several of our previous club members have their \u2018A\u2019 test, including a whole family of sisters \u2013 the Steven Family \u2013 Shelagh, Shonagh and Catriona.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year we run training and tests for our members as well as stable management sessions at mounted & dismounted rallies.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n
