Efficiency Tests
Pony Club Efficiency Tests
The Pony Club Efficiency Tests enable members to learn progressively about horse and pony care as well as riding. The tests are taken at recommended ages and are designed with certain objectives in mind. Full details of the tests can be found on the main Pony Club website.
Attending the Rallies provides the training necessary to work towards your next level.
In addition C and C+ training is covered at the Summer Rallies and we hold specific training clinics for B level and above throughout the year - details of both are available via the link below.
