At WVPC you can attend both mounted and dismounted rallies (group lessons) throughout the year. You will be taught by experienced PC accredited instructors.

As your ability improves, if you wish to, you will be able to take various proficiency tests (please see the PC Test page of the website) to mark your achievements.

All of our rallies are listed on the calendar and are available to book via Entrymaster.

Very briefly the levels are split as follows:
