It was pony care level 1 & 2 and riding level 1&2. They were so easy but I have to do them and and up to level 6 if I want to be a helper since I've only just started at this riding school. Everyone else in my group was a beginner and I was the only one that knew everything! Here's what we had to do: Know how to approach a pony, lead a pony correctly, tie a quick release knot, give a titbit correctly, identify 3 items of a basic grooming kit, put on a headcollar, tie up correctly, brush pony/horse in preperation for tacking up, identify feed currently in use at school, identify the following points of a pony shoulder, mane, withers, loins, hock and knee, mount correctly, change stirrups, check girth, know how to hold reins correctly, be able to walk, halt, trot and canter, be able to ride as a ride (one horse distance), rising trot, be able to ride marker to marker with good steering, be able to walk and trot without stirrups. Easy huh?!
