For whom.
Riders with at least 1 year of riding experience who have also jumped. Minimum age is 15 years old.
The exam consists of two parts: a theory exam and a practical exam.
For the theory exam, you study by yourself at home. Herebyyou will learn many fun things about horses, such as health (diseases and disorders, nutrition), grooming (hoof care, care before and after riding), behavior (how does a horse communicate) and handling your horse. During the exam, you will be given multiple-choice questions on these topics.
What material do you need to know for the theory exam?
The theory exam consists of 25 multiple-choice questions. Of these, 20 must be answered correctly. The theory for this can be found in the books "Haal je ruiterbewijs met plezier" and "paard en welzijn". This also clearly describes the material you need to know.
