A theory test consisting of 35 multiple choice questions, 28 of which must be answered properly to succeed. The syllabus contains all the required information.

With the practical exam, the student must correctly fit and put a harness on and  hitching a single horse . Very important is, showing a controlled horse using the Achenbach System. Also the student must do a few special exercises, like a turn on a small road. The practical exam takes place in a public area.

 

The Achenbach System can be used for a single horse carriage up to a six in hand. It is based on safety and practicality. We love teaching the Achenbach system, because we can always be confident to answer any questions and give the students a good solid reason why we do things in a certain way. It makes sense.
