Description: The Spurs Test consists of two sections – a theory discussion and practical ridden assessment. Theory Discussion: This should cover all the theory elements of the syllabus and must include observing the candidates putting on and fitting spurs correctly. This should take approximately 20 – 25 minutes. Practical Riding: Candidates should be observed riding without spurs at walk, trot, and canter, both with and without stirrups. They should be observed performing school figures and movements that reflect their level of training or current competition standard. For example: Polo/Polocrosse – to demonstrate riding at speed and changing direction whilst wearing spurs Dressage - performing school figures and movements that reflect their level of training or current competition standard. Jumping – to demonstrate riding over and between fences, show some light seat work. The discipline that a candidate is involved with will determine which gaits and specific movements he/she is asked to perform. This section should take approximately 30 – 40 minutes depending on numbers and any reasonable adjustments that may be required.
