PONY CLUB EFFICIENCY TESTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The Pony Club encourages members to take tests which enable 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 below for the order in which tests are taken.<\/p>\n

As a branch we try to organise two test session per year where members will have the opportunity to take the relevant test they require. Where possible training sessions may be held in advance but the relevant material is generally covered in standard ridden rallies and at Stable Management sessions. For B Test and above please contact the Branch District Commissioner in the first instance.<\/p>\n

The Efficiency test athway can be seen below<\/p>\n
