The standards have been updated for 2012! At the USPC Annual meeting, this PowerPoint presentation was shared to help explain the changes between the old standards and the new standards. You can see the presentation by following this link: http://www.ponyclub.org/default.asp?page=LocalLevelTesting and then clicking on "Click Here" in the blue box labeled Standard Comparisons.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU is that you need to make sure that you are looking at the current standards when you are preparing for all pony club activities. This is especially important for you when you are getting ready to go for your next certificate/rate-up (USPC is now referring to ratings as "certificates") and when you are preparing to teach.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
