香港少年馬術會歡迎你 |
The Pony Club Training System 少年馬術會的訓練制度In Hong Kong, children learn to ride at several public and private riding schools but generally speaking there are limited opportunities for them to care for ponies. This creates an imbalance in our young riders' knowledge and experience, which the Pony Club helps to redress. Pony Club Efficiency Tests cover pony and horse care and stable management as well as riding. In order to progress in the Pony Club Training System, members must master practical skills such as tacking up and grooming as well as demonstrate theoretical knowledge about ponies/ horses and related equipment. Hong Kong’s riding centres play a central role in preparing young riders for Pony Club Efficiency Tests. Pony Club liaises closely with the riding centres to identify when candidates are ready and make arrangements for Tests to take place as needed. 在香港，兒童可以學習騎馬但較少機會照顧馬匹。少年馬術會希望改善這經驗與知識水平不平衡的狀況。少年馬術會能力考試內容包括馬匹照顧，馬房管理及策騎。要進階的話，會員必須掌握如配馬、擦馬和包紮等實用技考。他們也要有理論知識及認識馬匹用具。香港各騎術學校在準備年輕騎手考試擔當十分重要的角色。少年馬術會跟它們保持密切聯繫，當有考生預備好的時候，盡量按需要舉行考試。 If you are interested to enroll for an Efficiency Test or would like to know more, please contact us. 如有興趣參加考試或索取有關資料，請與少年馬術會秘書聯絡。 Efficiency Tests 能力考試 This section provides a brief introduction to the Pony Club Efficiency Tests that we offer our members in Hong Kong.
