This C Level manual builds on material covered in The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship: Basics for Beginners/D Level. Whether you're a Pony Clubber who has passed the D Level tests or simply a rider who has mastered the same basics, this manual enables you to increase your skills and teach you what you need to know in order to rise independently and correctly with good position, balance, and use of the aids on the flat, over fences, and in the open.
At the intermediate level you're expected to take more responsibility for the care and management of your pony, and you'll learn how to do this as well. In addition, you'll learn the skills needed for conditioning and preparing your pony and yourself for competitions and special events.
- New and revised coverage of land conservation and horse health and safety
- Better organization to ease reference
- A full review and update of critical developments in riding, instruction, and competition
- In-depth revision of nutrition and veterinary topics, the two areas in which there has been the most significant research and development over the past two decades
From the C Level, you may go on to higher Pony Club ratings such as B, H, A, or A Ratings, or specialize in such disciplines as dressage, show jumping, eventing, and showing. Or you may just want to have the pleasure of caring your horse or pony and participating in your favorite riding activities. Either way, The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship: Intermediate Horsemanship/C Level will give you an excellent basis in horsemanship for the lifelong enjoyment of horses and horse sports.

This is a terrific update of the USPC's previous manual for its most advanced members. It is a super resource for adult riders/owners, and a great review for instructors and coaches. Clear diagrams are expected of Susan Harris, and the manual doesn't disappoint. In these times when riders are criticized for not understanding basic horsemastership as it used to be taught, here is a way to catch up on current good practice in riding and working with horses.

I liked this manual
I liked this manual. It was very simplified and provided what I would assume most horse people already knew. For the age range it is written for it is a good book to help instill the importance of good basics.
Just as expected.
This pony club manual is invaluable to anyone getting into horses. Covers just about anything you need to know about the care of horses.

Very helpful a good source of information, I learned a lot in this book, but growing up around horses I already knew some of the info.
Excellent Clear and Concise
Must-have for every Pony Club family, excellent reference material. Susan Harris provides clear direction and many references to support her teaching. Great use of illustrations.

This is the kind of book I was looking for -- all my answers were there is a format that is interesting to read and easy to understand. EXCELLENT!
Safety is emphasized at all times.

Great book
I love all the Pony Club Manuals. Great information! I'm a fairly new rider and these books have helped tremendously
It's for a Pony Club member I sponsor.
It's has the necessary information for her to earn her C certifications. It is required reading for them to learn how to ride and care for their horses.
Helped me so much!
I am in pony club and ever since I got this book I have learned so much more then I thought I could.
