RDA Proficiency tests horse care
Carefully developed by RDA Coaching experts, the RDA Proficiency tests form a key part of the wider RDA Education ‘Learning through Horses, Learning for Life’ programme, offering a valuable opportunity to recognise and reward achievement, at all levels of ability.
The RDA Proficiency test programme has been carefully designed to be as accessible as possible, encouraging participants on each step of the way. From Grades 1 to 4, the tests gradually increase in difficulty, providing an attainable challenge within the scope of the individuals’ capabilities and giving participants the opportunity to gain useful, practical knowledge, even at a basic level.
