The C Level is an intermediate level of horsemanship. This C Level
manual builds on material covered in The United States Pony Club Manual
of Horsemanship: Basics for Beginners/D Level. Whether you are a Pony
Clubber who has passed the D Level tests or simply a rider who has
mastered the same basics, this manual will enable you to increase your
skills and teach you what you must know in order to ride independently
and correctly with good position, balance, and use of the aids on the
flat, over fences, and in the open. At the intermediate level you are
expected to take more responsibility for the care and management of your
pony, and you will learn how to do this as well. In addition, you will
learn the skills needed for conditioning and preparing your pony and
yourself for competitions and special events. From the C Level, you may
go on to higher Pony Club ratings such as B, H A, or A Ratings, or
specialize in such disciplines as dressage, show jumping, eventing, and
showing. Or you may just want to have the pleasure of caring for your
horse or pony and participating in your favorite riding activities.
Either way, The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship:
Intermediate Horsemanship/C Level will give you an excellent basis in
horsemanship for the lifelong enjoyment of horses and horse sports.
