SEPTEMBER 2012 SYLLABUS The CAVALIER manuals support your personal development as you discover and learn about the world of the Horse. Entering and living within the equestrian world helps build your personal balance. Our manuals guide you step by step as you progress in line with the guidelines of the French Equestrian Federation (Fédération Française d'Équitation), which redesigned the federal exams with the aim of passing on shared values. The Rider's Preparation Manual for Federal Exams 5, 6, 7 and Degree 2 enables every rider, while respecting their own individuality, to progress through each stage of training. These stages are divided into 4 level groups brought together in the book under the codes G5 to G7 leading up to Degree 2. THE AUTHORS This book has been written by instructors with extensive experience in the equestrian world and riding instruction. VALIDATION METHOD This manual was reviewed and refined by working groups made up of teaching specialists, whom we would like to thank warmly. Special thanks go to: Bertrand POISSON for his invaluable and methodical assistance. Andy BOOTH and the Haras de la Cense for sharing their expertise in equine ethology.
