Pony Club Australia - Syllabus of Instruction 2024 2
The Pony Club Australia Syllabus of Instruction is built on certificate levels that enable the rider to
continuously develop their skills in riding, horse care and citizenship. Members are encouraged to
move through the certificates at their own pace, but in the following order:
• The E Certificate is optional but recommended.
• The D, D*, C and B Certificates are pre-requisites for the following certificates
• The D and D* have versions for older riders – for those who start work on this level around the
age of 12 years older
• The C Certificate is recommended as the baseline for all members and will ensure that the rider
has a good foundation of skill, safety and horsemanship.
• Candidates can progress from C to B via either the C* or the K Certificate.
