Mentors may be knowledgeable in each of the below-listed topics or alternatively be restricted to one or more topics where they are deemed knowledgeable:
(eg: Horse Care, Gear Checking etc.) For this purpose, mentors are to be assigned to the following categories.

Restricted (ZCI to nominate the subjects which the mentor is approved for) please be specific.
Important attributes for mentors to include –
• Good knowledge of subject
• Availability to mentor
• Ability to conduct a fair and reliable assessment of the candidate’s ability.
The mentor is responsible for signing the candidates Log to verify the skills and knowledge of the appropriate subject prior to assessment.
