(a) DRESSAGE — The Candidate rides a Test at the appropriate standard from "Dressage for the Pony Club", (e.g. Stage 5 for Grade 5) and is marked according to the Scale of Marks in the current edition of "Dressage for the Pony Club". The combination must obtain a score of 50% or more.

(b) SHOW JUMPING — A course should be built according to the specifications for the appropriate grade as stated in the current edition of "Horse Trials Rules, Combined Training Rules, Guidelines for Show Jumping Judges and Course Builders", page 21. Most of the obstacles should be at maximum height and spread. The course need not be full length, but it should contain at least six (6) obstacles.

Start and finish markers should be in place; the course should be measured and the Time Allowed established.

The Candidate then rides the course at the prescribed speed, and is judged and scored as set down in the current edition of the PCAV "Horse Trials Rules", Penalties for Show Jumping.

If the combination of horse and rider incurs three (2) disobediences, not only at one obstacle, but anywhere within the course, then that combination will not be graded or upgraded.

The grading for Combined Training MUST be recorded on the rider's current Membership Card.
