Ratings in the Northwest Region

Clubs are responsible for D1-C2 ratings.    Upper level ratings (HB through A) are national ratings but the NW Region has requirements that must be met by upper level candidates before their application is accepted by the Regional Supervisor.

NW Region contacts for ratings are:

• Donna Baxter Co-RIC dncnbear@centurytel.net  206-851-4634

• Asia Thayer  Co-RIC  asiathayer@hotmail.com 206-406-3425

• Jennifer Sweet  RS  jennifer@sweetshomefarm.com 360-269-0818 

Standards for D, C, B, A, HB, HA, and C3, B & A specialties can be found in the Forms section on the USPC site.  The standards were revised in 2009 and some of those changes have been noted on this other 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.
