C, C+ Training & Test
Shortly after the D, D+ test we will get started on our C training. Again the plans will depend on interest and numbers but the C test is important as it allows members compete at IPC cross country competitions.
Later in the summer we may consider running our C+ Training and test. As we ran a C+ test in the Autumn of 2020 it is possible that we will wait until Spring 2022 to run our next C+ training and test.
C Test - Riding confidently with a secure seat. Can be taken in the year the rider turns 12 years or later.
C+ Test - Confident riding with leg yeilding and turns on the forehand. Can be taken in the year the rider turns 14 or later.
B Test upwards
B, B+, H, and A tests are co-ordinated either regionally or nationally. Muskerry have put forward an impressive number of candidates for the senior tests (B, B+ and H). We wish all the candidates the best of luck with their preparation over the coming months.
Two / Three Day Clinic
As soon as it is possible to do so we will begin to plan other events, rallies and perhaps a two or three day clinic of lessons for our members.
