Setting up a Rider Testing

Find Out Who Can Host, Evaluate and Participate in a Rider Level Testing

Individuals can host Rider Testings at their barn with prior approval from the Equestrian NS.  Test Organizers complete the Application to Host form and submit it to the Equestrian NS a minimum of 30 days prior to testing along with the Candidate Application form.  Please see below for information on evaluators. To participate in the Rider Level 1-10 testing all candidates MUST be current members of the Equestrian NS (or of their home PSO).

Test paperwork will be sent to the evaluators by Equestrian NS.  All results from Rider Level examinations must be submitted to the Equestrian NS by the evaluators on the official evaluator forms.  Evaluators should review the results of an evaluation with the individual candidates at the conclusion of the evaluation day. However, please note that all English Rider evaluation results are to be returned to the Equestrian NS - Not to the candidate.The evaluator forms must include: candidate's mailing address, phone number, current Equestrian NS Membership number (or membership application) with appropriate administration fee ($15.00).

Certificates and badges will be mailed directly from the Equestrian NS to all successful English Rider Level candidates unless the evaluator/test organizer indicates to Equestrian NS that they would like to present them.
