Evelyn RR Governer (6426) | Remember that to attend Inter-Pacific you have to have your B cert so all the riders have reached a certain level or beyond.
At B certificate if they feel a rider is below standard they don't get to ride another horse anyway.

haha if I had my B I would totally trial for interpacific just to watch people try and jump Digger  |
Thats what im worried about... what happens if you get some -: :- on your horse? |
Having lent a horse before, trust me, if you feel uncomfortable about a rider on your horse, then you have the right to speak up and say no. The riders that go for inter pacific are very competent  |
oh cool, thanks

Sad really when you consider a 'Canine' is a meat eating animal not a lovely herbivore like our horses and the tushes are not for meat eating at all but for inflicting wounds on other stallions. |

Evelyn RR Governer (6426) | In B exam you go from being a Pony Club kiddie to a more professional rider - with the ability to analyse your horses performance, show a good stable position and be able to apply the aids effectively. (Think Suppleness, Straightness, Impulsion, Obedience) You may get away with stuffing some things up especially if you can give a constructive critisism of what went wrong and how you can fix it - but in the meantime work on each of the movements so your horse co-operates on the day.
Focus totally on how your horse is going in the exam so that you can give an accurate report on how each movement went.
Answers need to be clear and concise and use correct terminology. You need to come accross as confident in what you know and in how you handle equipment and horse.
Make sure that when you swap horses that you ask the other rider how they ask for canter, some people use a dominant inside leg, others are more dominant with the outside. Take your spurs off before riding someone elses horse. Also remove them for HM.
As always the examiners are wanting to find out what you know not what you don't know.
Go to this page and click on the Certificate Rules - then find the info for 'B' exam and read that http://www.nzpca.org/new/rules/nzpca_association.php#
For your work in the Open, write yourself a dressage test that includes all of the movements required in the exam, show a good work up to each movement and if you shine at one or more, show it in front of the examiners - your exam day is a time for you to show off!
Make sure that you have warmed your horse up well before the exam even starts - giving you enough time to go back to your float and tidy up your horse and yourself. Wipe off slobber, re oil feet and make sure that your boots are really clean. This is the first exam where you have to plait so practise heaps & heaps so you can do a good job on the day. Hair in a hair net, don't forget the gloves. Make sure all your gear is spotless.
I have a pre exam check list at home so email me with your email address & I'll send it to you. e.williamson@actrix.co.nz

You basically need to "know" the theory. It is far better to perhaps do things slightly differently to the "pony club way" as long as you can discuss why you do things that way....(obviously it needs to be correct though!!! - its just that there are quite a few things different.
ie your worming programme might differ from what the manual say....but there may be good reason for it....such as cross grazing, moving them more regularly, fewer horses, etc etc.....you just need to KNOW why you do it a certain way and be able to explain why it is correct.
However, I would want you to know about more feed stuffs, how and why to feed them etc, than just what you give your own horse.
Shoes and gear, you really just need to become familiar with the actual items; it really isnt the same as seeing a picture in the book. Same as bits - you really need to know what they are and how they are used.
Ditto; poisonous plants
Where are you? I have all the different shoeing gear, a selection of shoes, food examples etc etc, and would be happy to go through it all with you if you are anywhere round here. Can also do conformation, (good & bad with our ponies), clipping, and most of the stuff required. |
Ok, wow thats quite a lot My assessment to sit the exam is on the 15th so i dont think it leaves enough time? I like in Franklin
