2008: Badge Program

Seaton Hackney Stable's Badge Program will resume on Monday October 13th and go on well into the Winter with two Badges offered on Mondays at 4:00pm and two on Sundays at 4:30pm.

Our extensive badge program helps facilitate the integration of the riders into their new groups, enhance safety through better knowledge, and supplements instruction with a standardized educational program. Fee for each badge session is $39. All sessions last approximately 90 minutes and are completed by the successful passing of a test. Whoever does not get a passing grade (75%) will be able to retake the badge at no cost.

Volunteers ,- C.A.Ts and R.A.Ts, as customary, get these 4 badges for free and must take them as soon as they become available: Basic Safety 101, Grooming 101, Tacking Up 101 and Pony Handling 101.

All riders at Seaton Hackney 17yo and under must pass these badges before upgrading Levels. Level 1 riders will have to have taken all 101 badges prior to moving up to Level 2. Before joining Level 3, all Level 2 riders will need all the 101 and 201 badges. And so on, and so forth. If you are not a Troop Rider, you will still need to pass the Badges and your Instructor will evaluate you and recommend the proper ones.

Come to the office for a complete dated list of all the badges we are offering this Fall and Winter!
