Achievement badge update

We are updating how we run the achievement badges.  From now training will continue as usual, with a new slot being introduced on a Wednesday again from Feb 2013. Achievement of badges will only be done by attendance on our testing days that will be run on every school break. This will allow for fairer testing and the organisation of outside testers for the more difficult badges to make it fairer. We will also be offering the ABRS tests and certificates on these days as further achievements to add to your string. Please contact us if you need any special help in how you learn as our aim is for everyone to find these as encouraging as possible.

We will also be running lots of ridden tests this year both through The Pony Club and the ABRS so please look at the website and check out the syllabi as you may find that these prove to be quite fun and a good way of proving your abilities to the outside world.
