Minis, Juniors, Novice Challenge, Intermediate, Open

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.

Very briefly the levels are split as follows:

MINIS

Aimed at children aged 3 to 9, and older children who are nervous. ‘Minis’ is about having fun, meeting new friends, growing in confidence and learning how to ride and care for ponies.

 Some of the fun things we do are:

Easter Bunny ride, musical rides, flat-work rallies, XC rallies, dismounted rallies, SJ rallies, picnic ride, Halloween Havoc rally, Christmas Pony Party and the highlight of the year, summer camp!
