Testing

 

Achievement Standards are the heart of Pony Club.

The Canadian Pony Club has 12 levels of achievement:
E, D, D1, D2, C, C1, C2, B, B2, HA, RA, and A.

Testing involves more than just riding and jumping, as the participants are also graded
on their equine knowledge and stable management skills.

The Regional Testing chair for 2014 is Lori Wickert.
