Congratulations to Filly Carter, Martha O’Grady, and Mila Cassagne on passing a total of 16 riding and horse care tests examined by Mrs. Bev McHale. Bev was assisted by Vet Paula Siebert. In the picture the riders received a SandyBlue rosette, and later they will receive their coveted diplomas from the ABRS+.
The Association of British Riding School tests were very popular with Pinetrees pupils in days gone by, pre-Covid. They are a great way to evaluate progress, encourage the desire to learn more, and, ideal for the non-competitive rider or those who do not own their own horse.
The next exam day is planned for the Easter holidays and the plan is to develop this opportunity at the other ABRS+ approved schools in the Algarve, namely Albufeira Riding Centre and Lagos Horse Riding and Rescue Centre.
