Standards & Ratings Information

Clubs are responsible for D1-C2 ratings.    Upper level ratings (C3-A) are national ratings.  Information on all ratings can also be found in the Forms section on the USPC site. 

Find information on the various upper level ratings on the HB-A rating page. 

Study materials for all rating levels can be found by using the Horse Management Search Engine (which indexes more than 50 sites with current articles relevant to rating topics).  Also browse for study aids at the Mid California Region Site and the USPC Horse Management / Instruction site.
