The classroom portions of the class follow the Basic RiderCourse Handbook, and includes training aids, and an evaluation. An 80% is required to pass the classroom evaluation (test).

The Range Portion of the Basic Rider Course is approx. 10 hours. It includes 17 exercises including the skills test. Exercises are hands on. Motor skills are developed from Gross Motor skills to fine motor skills. Students who have some experience are coached to fine tune motor skills while inexperienced students are progressively encouraged toward the objective of each exercise.

For this reason both experienced and beginner riders, learn at the same time, but are challenged in a safe environment.
