What you need to DO! 🐴
PM Level 4 is the first level for which you need to be able to keep the horse with a steady contact on the bit during the dressage exam without the help of support reins. You will show a beginner dressage rider test (German level A). You demonstrate that you can give the correct aids and you have the feeling for right timing and intensity. You show extended gaits and show that your horse will stay on the bit even with longer reins. Important is the harmony between you and your horse.
During the jumping exam you ride a jumping equitation course with obstacles of 0,90 to 1,0 m in height. You demonstrate that you have a feeling for the correct rhythm and distance and you can manage the whole course in a steady rhythm and in harmony with your horse.
After your rides you can reflect on your riding performance and you show that you have familiarised yourself extensively with German riding theory and that you can apply it to your own performance.
In the station exams you show that know well about the rider’s fitness and training theory. You know about condition, coordination and other necessary skills that a rider should have and how to improve. In another station exam you show your knowledge about the use of different horse tack, how to put it on correctly and how to fit it. You are well aware of the safety aspects of horse tack and how to check for it.
IF YOU CAN DO ALL OF THIS, YOU ARE READY FOR PM LEVEL 4! 🐴🏅
