While clubs are responsible for D1-C2 ratings, upper level
ratings (HB-A) are national ratings. NW region candidates for the HB, C3,
B, H, HA, and A ratings must be recommended by their DC and RS.
They will be examined by National Examiners assigned by the USPC. Candidates are
required by the Region to attend the Mandatory Rating Preparation Clinic
annually. These mandatory upper level rating preps can be
found on the region's calendar. Information on
upper level ratings can also
be found in the Forms section on the
USPC site.
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.
