How is the Riding (R) section of the rating conducted?
The Riding section of the rating is conducted only after the candidate has passed at least 75% of the Horse Knowledge, 75% of the Horse Management questions, and 100% of the Safety Check questions.The candidate is first tested on the flat, then tested with the jumping or non-jumping option (English tests) or the non-jumping or trail option (Western tests), then is tested riding in the open (except the D1 test).The rater may stop the test at any time if s/he feels the conditions are not safe, if the horse is not safe or sound, or for any other reason that, based on his or her judgment, the testing must stop.
