Welcome from the QMS Equestrian Program Director
Welcome to the Shirley Burr Equestrian Centre!
For more than 56 years, the Equestrian Program at Queen Margaret’s School has been graduating young
competitive riders who are distinguished by their competence and confidence in the equestrian world as
well as by their successes in other aspects of their lives. The strength of our tradition, a well-recognized
professional team, an inviting facility, and accredited, academic equestrian coursework make the QMS
Equestrian Program one of the leading high school equestrian programs in North America.
Our QMS Staff include Equestrian Canada certified coaches with successful competitive backgrounds as
riders and trainers. Qualified high profile clinicians are brought in each term to enhance our riding
program.
Regardless of equestrian goals, QMS provides each and every rider with strong riding skills and
competence in stable management. We recognize that every rider is an athlete requiring an individualized
training plan in order to develop their unique talents. Our academic program, along with the equestrian
experience, will prepare riders for future endeavors at the post- secondary level or within various aspects
of the equestrian industry.
At Queen Margaret’s School, we believe that excellence in equestrian sport occurs not only through
determination, perseverance, and attention to detail, but also through community, teamwork, and
leadership. Riders will find these values integral to our program.
Please look through our Equestrian Handbook. It outlines our program, our courses and how riders can
benefit from attending Queen Margaret’s School. For photos and more information, please visit our
website at www.qms.bc.ca.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Jodine Buydens
Equestrian Program Director
31.0 Equestrian Program Curriculum
The curriculum used in the QMS riding program is based on the Long Term Equestrian Development
Guidelines offered by Equestrian Canada (www.equestrian.ca). QMS riders become knowledgeable,
skilled, and responsible members of the equestrian community, whether they ride competitively or for
fun. Rider training focuses on Hunter, Jumper, Equitation, and Dressage, providing a sound base for every
rider, along with inspiring a spirit of sportsmanship.
Students enrolled in the Equestrian Program will receive credits towards their Physical Education (PE) or
Equestrian Athlete classes. Additional equestrian credit courses are available for students in Grades 10 to
12. Please refer to Appendix 1 to explore further equestrian academic credit options.
The on-campus Shirley Burr Equestrian Centre allows students to pursue their riding goals while
participating fully in the academic, artistic, social, and other athletic activities offered in our busy QMS
school week. Graduates of the QMS Equestrian Program are seen as exceptionally well educated, both in
the saddle and in the barn, and have successfully pursued their goals in riding, coaching, stable
management, and veterinary sciences.
1.1 Program Outlines

61.2 Lesson Schedule
Each riders’ schedule is designed individually to ensure that riding fits into day-to-day life at QMS. Riders
receive their riding schedule at the beginning of the school year and any conflicts are addressed by the
end of September. Please note, a rider’s schedule may change throughout the year.
A minimum commitment of one term is expected from riders who select to participate in the Learn to
Ride or QMS Equestrians programs. A full school year commitment is expected of riders accepted to the
Equine Masters and Team QMS programs.
Depending on the program selected, students participate in riding lessons or stable management classes
an average of one (1) to five (5) times per week. Term and yearly lesson counts take into account school
breaks, professional development days, outdoor education trips, assemblies, field trips and holidays.
Make-up lessons are made available when a student is not on track to meet their term lesson count. Over
the course of the school year, the lessons/classes counts are as follows:
School Horse Division Lessons/Classes per Term Lessons/Classes per School Year
Learn to Ride 15 30
QMS Equestrians 1 15 30
QMS Equestrians 2 30 60
Owned or Leased Horse Lessons/Classes/Contacts per Lessons/Classes/Contacts per
Division Term School Year
QMS Equine Masters 3 45 90

Team QMS 75 150
Once enrolled with the Equestrian Program, students wishing to withdraw from the program, or one or
more of their weekly lessons, are required to give 30 days written notice prior to the start of the next term.
For example, students who do not wish to continue in the riding program in Term 2, written notification
of withdrawal must be received by January 1, 2019.
71.3 Equestrian Canada Rider Levels
The curriculum used in the QMS riding program is based on the Long Term Equestrian Development
Guidelines offered by Equestrian Canada (www.equestrian.ca). It is expected QMS riders will become
knowledgeable, skilled and responsible members of the equestrian community, whether they ride
competitively or for fun. Each QMS Equestrian Program includes the appropriate Rider Level Theory and
Stable Management classes and exam. These classes will take place outside the timetable and are in
addition to the regular lesson/classes included in each school year. Students wishing to progress through
more than one Rider Level per school year may do so at an additional cost.
Level 1
Riders at Level 1 should be in the beginning stages of their Equestrian development. At Level 1, riders
acquire the basics of riding and demonstrate good position, knowledge of “aids” and emphasize “safe”
habits. Riders at this level will be able to ride at the walk and trot.
Level 2
Riders at Level 2 will develop their skill and knowledge acquired during Level 1. At this level, the rider will
become more independent in both their riding and in their stable management skills. Level 2 riders will
be able to walk, trot and canter as well as trot a course of poles.
Level 3
Riders at Level 3 will develop stability, control and will now demonstrate the ability to ride independently.
Level 3 riders are now expected to ride an individual flat test and complete a cross-rail jumping course.
Level 4
Riders are starting to co-ordinate the use of the independent aids (i.e., leg being used to support hand
contact). Riders must be able to recognize an incorrect lead within a few steps and correct it without delay.
Riders at this level must demonstrate knowledge of arena rules as required. Riders are expected to
complete a flat test and ride jumps at a height of 2’ (0.6m).
Level 5
Riders have a solid awareness of a horse and an ability to maintain rhythm and relaxation. At Level 5, non-
progressive transitions are introduced. Examples of non-progressive transitions include walk to canter and
halt to trot. Riders at this level will be jumping fences at a height of 2’3” (0.7m) in addition to a flat test.
Level 6
Riders at Level 6 will demonstrate the ability to ride forward from leg to hand. They will be able to ride
the horse forward with impulsion (energy) while maintaining rhythm, regularity and evenness of pace.
Level 6 riders will complete a flat test and jump fences at a height of 2’6” (0.8m).
Level 7
Riders at Level 7 ride with consistent contact supported by the leg maintaining rhythm, suppleness contact,
and impulsion. Level 7 riders are now aware of lateral and longitudinal suppleness and appropriate
suppling exercises. They can lengthen and shorten stride at trot. Riders at Level 7 will complete a flat test
and jump fences at a height of 2’9” (0.88m).
8Level 8
Riders at Level 8 are competent riders with sound equitation skills. The Level 8 rider is able to recognize
“true” quality of movement. They are beginning to ride the horse with impulsion and engagement. They
can achieve consistent bend and straightness as required. The Level 8 rider is able to identify basic training
problems and offer options for their correction. Over fences, the rider will complete a flat test and jump
medal type courses of 2’9” (0.88m)–3’ (0.91m). The Level 8 rider will be able to influence the horse in a
positive fashion.
Level 9
Riders at Level 9 are confident, stylish, effective riders with sound training principles both on the flat, over
fences, and working with a horse from the ground. They should maintain a balanced, correct, and supple
seat at all gaits and over fences. Candidates should demonstrate a feel for their horses and an appreciation
of any weaknesses. These riders are beginning to school horses and will be able to identify and ride a
training program according to the horse’s needs. An awareness of horse behavior now comes to the
forefront and the rider is capable of using the training pyramid to best develop the horse’s mental,
muscular, and gymnastic abilities. The emphasis is on improving a horse’s style (i.e., rhythm, straightness,
and technique).
Level 10
The Level 10 rider shows a sound knowledge and experience of training horses capable of competing at
Equestrian Canada Silver and Gold levels. Riders at this level are able to ride a variety of horses at various
levels of schooling to produce the best performances from them, identify any problems, and are able not
only to discuss these problems but give and execute plans to resolve or improve them according to the
training pyramid. Riders should be able to assess the horses presented and determine the purpose each
horse might be best suited for. Further, the Level 10 rider should be able to implement a change in the
horse and then be able to critique their ride and determine if they have been effective with their training
plan.
1.4 Horsemanship Workshops
In support of “lifelong learning,” the QMS Equestrian Program arranges an evening or weekend workshop
each month to support our goal of creating well rounded, educated horse people. Speakers and clinicians
will share their knowledge with equestrian students on a variety of topics such as rider health and wellness,
horse health and wellness, preparing for a competition, and leadership in the horse industry.
Horsemanship Workshops are open to all students, however, additional fees may apply. QMS Equine
Masters and Team QMS programs include a defined number of Horsemanship Workshops within the
stated program fee. Student participation in select workshops is required for our Equine Athlete, Equine
Sciences, Equine Management and Introduction to Horse Training courses. Please refer to Section 5.4 to
review the fee schedule.
1.5 Clinics
Exposure to a variety of knowledgeable clinicians is an important part of rider development. Throughout
each school year, QMS invites a number of well-regarded clinicians to teach hunter, jumper, dressage,
and equitation skills to our equestrian students. Clinics are arranged to meet the specific needs of students
from novice to advanced levels. Coaches are able to advise which clinics will be the best fit for each
student. Clinic costs are not included in the program tuition. Please refer to section 5.4 to review the fee
schedule.
91.6 Contacts
Contacts are included in the QMS Equestrian Masters and Team QMS Programs. Contacts include activities
such as training rides, lunging, ground training, and any other activities that progress the horse’s training.
1.7 Equestrian Academic Curriculum and Credits
Queen Margaret's School offers a variety of academic credit granting courses for equine enthusiasts in
Senior School. The Academic Advisor can help students find the correct balance of academic and
equestrian academic courses needed to reach their post-secondary goals.
Note: Elective courses are subject to sufficient enrolment and may not be offered every year.
Please see Appendix 1 for Equestrian Academic Course Outlines
1.8 External Course Credit Options
BC Ministry of Education approved external credits are awarded for learning outside of the traditional
school setting. To earn credit for an approved credential, students must provide the appropriate
documentation proving successful completion of the external assessment, event, course or program.

6.1.1 Registration (on-site and off-site shows)
A schedule of events is posted at the Equestrian Centre and on our website closer to the show date.
• The Equestrian office will estimate the costs and distribute information to interested students
well in advance of the show.
• Parent authorization must be received by email (or in person) prior to show entries being
submitted.

the tack. If riders are sharing a horse, they will share these duties.
• Braiding is not required for QMS shows or local shows, but riders may braid if they wish for
practice.
• Braiding is required for all Summer Series point shows and off-island competitions. There will be
a charge if riders are not able to complete this task themselves. (Refer to Section 5.8 for fee
details.)
• There may be a schooling session the day before a horse show. Riders are asked to speak with
their coach for scheduled times.
6.1.3 Show Day
• For a QMS show, riders must be at the Equestrian Centre at least two hours before their
event/class (i.e., if a rider is in the first few classes and the show starts at 9:00am, they must arrive
by 7:00am).
• For a QMS show, if a rider is in an afternoon class, they must check with their coach to confirm
what time they are to be at the Equestrian Centre.
• For off-site competitions, arrival times will be coordinated and confirmed by each student’s coach.
• Riders are responsible for tacking up, mucking their horse’s stall, ensuring their horse has water
at all times and tidying up after the show.

choosing a suitable riding habit.
6.2 Academic Support for Equestrians
Academic support is an important part of our competitive riders’ success. At the beginning of our School
year, academic and equestrian staff will come together to meet with equestrian student athletes
interested in competing off-campus to discuss an individual support plan. Riders wishing to attend horse
shows are expected to maintain a minimum 65% average in all academic courses. Any exemption to this
