  • Pony Club Chart of Learning Revised July 28, 2020
    Pony Club Chart of Learning Revised July 28, 2020 Member Certifications will always include their highest HM earned first, followed by the highest certification(s) earned in any riding discipline (Eventing, Dressage, Hunter Seat Equitation, Show Jumping, and Western). Example: Sally Sicklehock – H-B HM, C-2 EV, B DR, C-1 HSE, D-3 WST Local Level Certifications- Progression begins at the D-1 with members moving through the Standards in the desired track (HM, EV, DR, HSE, WST) to the C-2 level. Movement from one riding discipline level to another is acceptable when it is to the SAME certification level, see example below. Riding Certifications cannot be awarded until the Horse Management for that level is passed. Contact your DC/CA to arrange for any certifications. HORSE RIDING MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATIONS NOTES CERTIFICATIONS (EV, DR, HSE, WST) (HM) Eventing-D-1 through C-2: May take the HM, Flat, and Jumping D-1 D-1 tests all at one time or individually. Flat must precede Jumping test. D-2 D-2 Dressage, Hunter Seat Equitation, and Western -D 1 through C-2: HM may be tested separately, but all riding sections must be tested together. D-3 D-3 Example of switching from one track (discipline) to another: D-2 HSE member wants to switch to the EV track. To do so they need to C-1 C-1 take the D-2 EV riding tests (they already have their D-2 HM) and then proceed to the D-3 when ready. They could take the D-2 and D-3 EV riding tests all at one time if they are ready.

  • Equestrian Majors at Wilson the Equestrian Industry Has an Annual Economic Impact That Exceeds One Billion Dollars
    WILSON COLLEGE Programs for Equestrians I love the trainers and instructors at Wilson. “ They are accepting of all personal goals and sincerely work hard to get you there. Riding in lessons with Dr. Tukey that specialize in eventing made it possible for me to take my horse to his first event this past year. We continue to excel through the program and I have Wilson and Dr. Tukey to thank for these accomplishments.” Katie Douglas ‘08 Chesapeake Beach, MD Major: Equestrian Management & Equine Management Programs for Equestrians Wilson College provides rigorous study in the liberal arts and sciences and strong preparation for careers in the equine world as well as other fields. All students complete requirements in the sciences, humanities and social sciences. Wilson students develop, among others, effective skills in written and oral communication, the power to think and reason critically and the appreciation of cultural differences. Most Wilson students, including those majoring in Equestrian Studies or Equine Facilitated Therapeutics, select one or more minors that provide in-depth study outside of their major field. Some students choose to complete degree requirements for two majors with the understanding that this may take them more than four years. Whether you wish to pursue a degree or an eventual career in the equine world or want to continue riding while majoring in another discipline, Wilson College can fulfill those objectives. Wilson makes it easy for students to pursue their equestrian interests because, unlike many colleges with equestrian offerings, our facilities are part of our beautiful 300-acre campus, just a short walk from our residence halls.

  • Hunt Seat Equitation
    Hunt Seat Equitation GENERAL STATEMENTS: Hunt seat equitation on the flat is an evaluation based on the ability of a rider to perform various maneuvers in harmony with her/his horse. The most important factor to keep in mind is the fact that this class is not based on the movement of the class (Hunter Under Saddle). It is judged solely on the ability of the rider to show his or her horse. Thus, the communication between horse and rider through subtle cues and aids should not be obvious. Equitation is judged on the rider and her/his effect on the horse wile executing a pattern. The class is judged 75% on pattern work and 25% on rail work (usually following the pattern work). While judged on the flat, the class provides a base for natural progression to over fence class. POSITION: (of horse and rider) Horse: The poll should be level with, or slightly above the withers, to allow proper impulsion from behind. The head should not be carried behind the vertical, giving the appearance of intimidation, or be excessively nosed out, giving a resistant appearance. Rider: The rider’s hands should be over and in front of the horse’s withers, knuckles thirty degrees inside the vertical, hands slightly apart and making a straight line from the horse’s mouth to the rider’s elbow. (Method of hold the reins is optional, and bight of reins may fall on either side. However, all reins must be picked up at the same time.) The eyes should be up and the shoulders back.

  • Guidelines for Judging Dressage Seat Equitation Classes
    Guidelines for Judging Dressage Seat Equitation Classes The purpose of these guidelines is to assist in the development of a uniform standard for judging Dressage Seat Equitation (“DSE”) classes. Many Dressage judges may lack experience judging group classes and/or classes focused on the seat and aids of the rider rather than on the performance of the horse. These guidelines are intended to enable judges to develop their own system for judging Dressage Seat Equitation classes and are not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain absolute rules. I. Guidelines for rider position Even when reading the texts of the “masters” there are varied opinions regarding the correct position of the rider. Below are suggestions of what judges might want to watch for. Keep in mind that the goals of correct riding are the security of the rider, the ability of the rider to positively influence the horse, the unity of the rider with the horse in motion. To be effective rider must have a correct position and weight distribution. The rider’s seat should match the movement of the horse at each gait. The judge should also consider the directives of DR117 from the current USEF Rule Book: DR117 The Position and Aids of the Rider. 1. All the movements should be obtained with imperceptible aids and without apparent effort of the rider. The rider should be well-balanced, elastic, sitting deep in the center of the saddle, smoothly absorbing the movement of the horse with his loins and hips, supple thighs with the legs steady and stretched well down.
