Rider Levels Testing

So after chatting with some people I have found that there is some interest in my area (Miramichi/Bathurst NB)in getting our Rider Levels through Equine Canada.
How would we go about doing that?
How would I got about finding someone qualified to judge, or would you guys know of someone?
Would they come to us, or would we have to go to them?

Any other information would be very helpful!
Thanks!

I would think , oh, wait, thats the NSEF.......do you not have an equivalent in N<B> you must have.......I have a friend who judges etc......how be I ask her.....she's not on this forum, and see what I can find out.

Google New Brunswick Equestrian Association...that should send you in the right direction.

When I did my rider levels in Campbellton we had a certified coach come in.

One did not operate on a large scale, didn't teach lessons, or own her own facility. She used to be a boarder and had done all her levels and achieved her coaching status. We had the riding and written parts of the exam. several years later we had another coach come in.

HHSES now I'm curious, I'm from that way and know some Bathurst/Miramichi horsey people, but don't believe I've met you.

I know where you can do that Heather...I'll fill you in next time I see you :o)

@Wil-If-I-Want- I'm fairly new to Miramichi, I moved here last year with my horse. I don't know a lot of people, so I don't think you know me...yet!

@Amadtatter-I was chatting with someone up in Bathurst who would like to get their levels as well, I know if she asked a few others, there might be more interest up there to. I just thought I'd put the word out, I don't want to have to travel too far. Fill me in for sure!

For the first 6 levels you only need a certified level one coach. For the rest you need a certified level 2 coach.

Hi Heather, From my friend at Two Bit Farm:

I was just chatting with Wendy Hudson (certified level II coach with Equine Canada) about her coming to Two Bit to do a clinic/testing for Rider levels. This could involve one or two days, depending on how many participants, etc. maybe late Oct or early Nov.
