TESTS IN THE SHILLELAGH PONY CLUB

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND MEMBERS 

In the Shillelagh Pony Club, tests are usually held during the Summer. 

The D and D+ tests are taken during Camp. You must pass your D+ test before being allowed to do your C Test.

The C test is always held shortly after camp (which is in early July) as the children will have worked to prepare for it during camp. Sometimes there is a C Tests held later in the Summer or during the Easter holidays to accommodate children who were unable to attend the one after camp, but a minimum of five members are needed to do this. 

The Riding and Road Safety Test is usually held in August (following a Road Safety Rally) and is usually taken the year after the C test. (It is compulsory to have this before attempting the C+).

The C+ test is usually held in August and special rallies are held to prepare for it.
