Please read all the Information below before booking to make sure you enter the right test/s:
E TEST – approximately 1 hour – Your child needs to be over 4 years old to take this test but they can take it on or off the lead rein,
D TEST – Suitable for 8 years old upwards, lasting about 1 hour – You MUST have done the Mini Road Rider badge before you can take your D test.
D PLUS TEST – takes about 1-1.5 hours, the recommended age is about 10 years old. The instructors will help train your child at the working rallies BUT you must also commit to reading the syllabus and the recommended reading books with your child too. On test day you will need a clean pony and safe tack and your child needs to wear shirt, tie, cream jods and a jacket.
C TEST – minimum age 11 years, You must have taken your Road Rider Badge before you take this test. You can now do this test in two parts – care and riding. You are expected to have a secure seat without relying on the reins.
C plus TEST – minimum age 13 years, You need to riding on the flat, show jumping and cross country. Again you can split this test between care and riding. You would be expected to have the skills and knowledge to look after horses independently.
The tests are progressive, you need to do them in order (except for the E which is voluntary), if your child had not done any tests before they need to start at D test and work upwards. Depending on their age they could possibly do D and D plus on the same day, or E and D on the same day. There is no need to do E, D and D plus on one day though. You can find out more information about the tests HERE
