Rider's Skill Level Program

The rider level program is designed to allow continuity for each student at
Sandy Bay Stables.

Rider levels will allow students to set goals and reach them within a set group of
standards.

We expect that each student will have a better understanding of the progression from
novice rider to experienced horseman.

Each Sandy Bay Stables student will be given, by their instructor, a set of skills that they
will be tested on. Tests will be held as a lesson during students’ regular scheduled
classes. Tester will be Melissa Consalvo.

We will start testing students beginning in August 2010.
Students will be given a pass/not pass grade for their level as well as a list of skills they
need to improve before moving on to the next level.

Please be sure to discuss with your instructor any questions or concerns you have
regarding this program. Rider levels are available for your inspection in the tack room and
