The Pony Club Training Series 1 - Basic Horsemanship is aimed at a wide range of potential riders and pony owners. Introduced by Ian Stark and presented by Pony Club instructors, this program takes the viewer from the first considerations before buying a pony, to choosing the most suitable pony and how to care for it.

The topics covered range from early riding lessons and safety measures to the fun at a Pony Club rally where children benefit from instruction in riding, pony care and road safety, among friends.

Also includes:

• guidance with the care of a stabled pony
• some veterinary advice
• further instruction in jumping and riding across country
• how to box and transport ponies
• guides the young rider towards the C test level of the Pony Club

Used in conjunction with The Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship and Keeping a Pony at Grass, this DVD will prove a most valuable reference over the early years of a rider’s career and should be most helpful to both parents and children in forming a happy partnership between pony and rider.
