I had been working hard throughout the year preparing my self for the Pony Club AH test. This is the highest standard horse care/management exam in the pony club & takes a lot of hard work and dedication in order to achieve. There are not many people who pass the exam on their first attempt, so it really is a prestigious test. Most of 2010 I spent my time researching through my old notes that I had made for previous exams, and refreshing the basics. I left it rather late to get professional training, which is definitely needed for this exam. I started weekly training in January with Roseanne Liversidge who also trains me as a rider and has done for many years. I also had a couple of sessions with Alex Hudson & spent the day with Vet Vicki Edmondson & gained experience with Farrier Ricky Gache.
When I arrived at the centre on the day everybody was talking about the exam and most of the girls had taken it before and this was at least their 2nd or 3rd time of taking it. So they were all telling me what to expect, which made me rather nervous, as well as knowing that I was at least 2 years younger than all the others who had taken equine degrees and were at Veterinary Uni.
The first section I went totally mind blank & forgot the most basic and simple things that I do everyday. But, as the day went on I relaxed and became more confident.
After a very long and tiring day I had to wait about an hour for my results, as each candidate went in one by one.
Only 3 out of the 8 candidates that took part passed, sadly I wasn’t one of them but I was pleased to know that I only failed two out of the 8 sections whereas other candidates who had a lot more experience than me failed 3 or more sections at least. The day gave me great experience and I now know what to expect for next time.
