Pony Club rating system

The Pony Club rating system is a structured way of measuring a rider’s skill level, progressing through grades from A (highest) to E (beginner). Riders earn or improve ratings by passing tests that include horsemanship, riding skills, and knowledge about caring for horses. Each level builds on the previous, ensuring riders develop competence and confidence. The assessment process encourages progress at a safe, steady pace, and riders can advance by demonstrating their abilities through practical exams and theory. This system provides a clear pathway for learning and achieving riding proficiency, promoting safety, responsibility, and skill development.
