There's three sections
Theory - (10 Questions) need to get 7/8 out of 10 correct to get to the next stage, these questions are multichoice, so pick the right answer out of the 3/4 given, pretty simple takes about 10/15 minutes.
Field Simulation - Your tutor will have gone through everything with you the course you'll be doing so you'll know whats involved and what to do. This section is about control of the horse and observation
Road riding - Includes a 5/10 minute hack on an actual rode you'll be riding as an open group and this is to make you aware and observe things around you.
Written - Traffic lights, signs, zebra crossings, roundabouts, accidents, e.c.t
They are basic just a few:
According to the Highway code, if you must ride out in murky weather or at dusk/night, what kind of clothing is safe?
a white
b Fluorscent
c Reflective
Would be C
What is the usual shape of roads signs giving orders?
a Circular
b Triangular
c Rectangular
Would be A
The most important thing you'll EVER learn is
- Observe - Look behind and all around
- Signal - Clearly and precisely
- Observe - life saver look (double check)
- Manoevre - go where you need to get to
Hand signal
Hand and arm need to be out straight the length of time say
"I intend to turn right/left"
Remember when signally dont bring your whip with you, put your whip in your other hand.
Field Simulation
Usually consists of hazards, right/left turns, round abouts, T-juntions, u-turn, dismount and lead, overtake a car, traffic lights and trotting (the last stage)
Usually they will give you their horses if you do it at a riding school or a training centre.
That gives you a taste of what its like ^^^
