The Pony Club structure encourages Riding Members to prepare for and take tests which enables them to learn progressively about horse and pony care (horsemastership) and riding (horsemanship). The tests are designed for the member to progress from one standard of learning to the next with certain objectives in mind. Although some requirements of each test may vary slightly from country to country because of geographic location, local activities or climatic conditions, the tests are based on a worldwide policy.
The Pony Club Australia Syllabus of Instruction sets out in detail the requirements of each Efficiency Test and is available from the PCA National office or the PCAWA Office. Pre-requisites: Standards D, C, C* or K, B, and A, must be gained in that order. i.e. each is a pre-requisite for the higher standard. There is no pre-requisite for the H Certificate.
