Choose your Test Training Pathway
The Pony Club Training Structure is an internationally recognised accreditation, helping Members develop skills and knowledge both practically and theoretically. We’re excited to share an exciting update to the C Test that gives Members more control and flexibility over their own pathway – the test will now be split into separate sections, Riding and Care.
This new format introduces the opportunity to take a direct care route all the way from C Test to the AH Test. Many Members’ interests lie solely in the care, welfare and theory behind everything that goes into keeping our equine partners in top condition, and now they can pursue this interest while also gaining recognised qualifications.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t do both – it simply allows Members to complete their training pathway in whatever order suits them best.
As an organisation, The Pony Club prioritises not only the quality of education offered, but the autonomy and choice of the young people who make up our community. This split encourages Members to make their own decisions on how they wish to pursue their qualifications, offering greater flexibility while upholding the high standards of training that The Pony Club is known for.
