This system has been developed by us, based on years of experience teaching beginners and novices. It gives riders a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of correct, classical riding so that they can progress to higher levels, both on the flat and over jumps. The Grades run from 1 to 6 and riders can’t move onto the next grade until all the requirements of the previous grade have been completed. Each time a rider completes a grade, they can purchase a Progress Certificate if they wish. Riders who pass Grade 6 will be above the level of the BHS Stage 1 Riding exam and equipped with the skills for doing dressage or jumping at a local level. Grades 1 and 2 are assessed by a rider’s regular instructor. Grades 3 and above are assessed by Mary Stitson. The following gives a sample of what is included in each grade. Please note that jumping is optional. Grade 1 Mounting, dismounting and leading Correct position and balance How to halt, walk and turn Sitting trot with stirrups Grade 2 Walk without Stirrups Rising Trot Learning to change direction Large circles in walk Grade 3 Understand what it means for a horse to be ‘going forwards’ Using reins effectively Starting sitting trot without stirrups First canter Grade 4 - Flat Learning to move horse or pony sideways (leg yield) Trotting over a line of poles Sitting and rising trot without stirrups Cantering large Grade 4 - Jump Correct balance and position Transitions between trot and canter Courses of poles in trot Single fences Grade 5 - Flat Understanding the horse’s way of going Serpentines Leg yield in trot 20m circles in canter Grade 5 - Jump Linking fences together Riding consistently forward over poles and jumps Keeping balance and position in canter Changes of lead through trot Grade 6 - Flat Understanding outline Increasing / Decreasing stride in trot Acute transitions Canter without stirrups Grade 6 - Jump Grid work Uprights and narrow spreads Courses in canter Walk to canter transitions
