The Pony Club Training structure encourages members to take tests which enables them to learn progressively about horse and pony care and riding. The tests are taken at recommended ages and are designed with certain objectives in mind \u2013 see the chart below for the order in which tests are taken.<\/p>\n

Tests E to C+<\/h6>\n
