The 10 Level Program
The Bridges Equestrian 10-Level Horsemanship Program is a step-by-step, level by level program designed to bring a student through the Bridges Equestrian School of Horsemanship Program with all the appropriate knowledge to own and operate their horse, for show or recreation.
This program is designed toward the Hunter/Dressage/Western pleasure rider, and covers all aspects of Horsemanship including:
- Horse Care & Feeding
- First Aid
- General Knowledge
- Groundwork
- Riding
- Different Disciplines within the Industry
- and much, much more!
All riders start at level 1, however if you come to Bridges Equestrian with prior riding experience, or if you have been with us for a year or more, you may challenge the first 3 levels with the Bridges Equestrian Horsemanship Challenge.
Reviews and Testing will be conducted every three months. Please contact Meg if you would like to enroll and/or if you’d like to know if you’re ready to test.
