Updated and enhanced information on the most recent topics added to
the Pony Club curriculum
This C Level manual builds on material covered in The United States
Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship: Basics for Beginners/D Level. Whether
you're a Pony Clubber who has passed the D Level tests or simply a rider
who has mastered the same basics, this manual enables you to increase
your skills and teach you what you need to know in order to rise
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're expected to take more responsibility
for the care and management of your pony, and you'll learn how to do
this as well. In addition, you'll learn the skills needed for
conditioning and preparing your pony and yourself for competitions and
special events.
- New and revised coverage of land conservation and horse health and
safety
- Better organization to ease reference
- A full review and update of critical developments in riding,
instruction, and competition
- In-depth revision of nutrition and veterinary topics, the two areas in
which there has been the most significant research and development
over the past two decades
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 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.
