I can't imagine anyone reaching the "A" level before 16. I think the youngest on record was 16. > learn equestrian and stable management > skills including rallies, shows and lots of instruction.

For all those interested, pony club is a nice way to introduce the young rider. You don't need a fancy horse, or expencive stuff, just safe tack and a pony. there are lots of different things to participate in, and a wide variety of events. For example, if I had been a year older, I could have gone to south africa this year, to compete on borrowed horses/ponies in their huge show. It ranges in difficulty from those who have never ridden before, to those who move on to national and international events.
