Associate member: As an associate you will be assigned a group tutor who will help you reach the standard required to take the RoSPA Advanced Riding test. This is via a number of observed rides with the tutor who will provide a marked assessment and suggest skill development areas to work on.
Once you feel that you are are ready to take the Advanced Riding test you apply online to RoSPA and pay their current test fee which also joins you as a RoSPA member if you’re successful in the test. Membership of RoSPA is renewable annually and covers the cost of the 3 yearly retest. As a member of RoSPA you will receive their ‘Care On The Road’ magazine.
