Six Pony Club members tried and PASSED their B test RIDING in Radfords on Monday August 30th.
During this test, riders must show School movements on their own horse and then they have to ride a different horse and explain how the horse goes. They then change tack if necessary, complete a Show Jumping round and ride a short XC course.
Five of the riders had already passed their B Care, so by passing their Riding they completed their B test. Riders were :-
- Jasmin Teague – (Tanatside)
- Connie garvey – (Tanatside)
- Sophie Williams – (Berwyn & Dee)
- Jess Roe – (Berwyn & Dee)
- Tasmyn Green – (Gwynedd)
- Ben Carke – (Wynnstay) Riding only

“There are no UCAS points for B test or any other Pony Club tests, and there never has been.
There is mapping between the Pony Club tests and BHS qualifications as shown at http://www.pcuk.org/uploads/tests/The_Pony_Club_Tests__BHS_exams_direct_entry_summary.pdf although this may change following the revamp of the BHS exam system. Currently the B test candidates who have achieved the complete B Test and hold the Pony Club Lungeing Certificate or EQL Level 2 lunge a horse under supervision (a unit of the Stage 2 qualification) are eligible to apply for direct entry to BHS Stage 3 and the PTT, so potentially UCAS points are possible this way (EQL Level 3 Certificate in BHS Preliminary Teaching of Horse Riding (QCF) 2017 Tariff score: 16).”
A very successful ‘B’ Test took place In Dyfnog Stud, Denbigh on September 1st 2015 and the following members must be congratulated on their achievements, especially the three members who passed the whole test on the day:
- Meg Davies, Tanatside
- Timoney Orritt, Tanatside
- Xanthe Goldsack, Cheshire Hunt North
Five converted to a complete B having already achieved half:
- Olivia Miller, Flint and Denbigh
- Myfanwy Powell, Tanatside
- Emma Furmston, East Cheshire
- Kate Williams, Burton Cheshire Forest
- Rowan Dulson, Burton Cheshire Forest
Two further passes at Riding only:
- Beatrice Jones, Waen y Llyn
- Tia Barlow, Cheshire Hunt South
Two passed their Care only:
- Russel Wingfield, Aberconwy
- Abby Leadbetter, Burton Cheshire Forest
There was a high success rate as only 3 out of 8 failed the Care and 4 out of 14 failed the Riding.
All riders were very well turned out so well done.
