Thoroughbred Checklist v5.4

Document: Frilly Filly Farm Thoroughbred Checklist
Version: 5.4
Date: May 2026

Pony Name: [ DisplayName ] ( UserName )

Introduction :

Thoroughbred ponies are champions, with well-rounded skill sets. The following items are the minimum expectations of a Thoroughbred Pony at Frilly Filly Farm. FFF Thoroughbreds are expected to perform consistently and will be expected to demonstrate that they can achieve the target of each sign-off a number of times consecutively.

Criteria such as, “Slalom: Score 18 or less with no faults”, or “Large Steeplechase: 75 seconds or less with no faults” does not mean the pony can achieve that target just once. It is strongly recommended that trainers require 5 consecutive runs that meet the requirement.

The times required for each item in this checklist have been chosen with care. These times are designed to provide a challenge for ponies new to Pony play, but not so much that it is impossible to achieve. They are specific. A time of 75.01 does not meet a target of 75 seconds or less.

Sign-off Regulations :

Only FFF Trainers, FFF Senior Trainers, FFF Stable Masters and FFF Stable Mistresses can sign off on any skill.
Each trainer may only sign off a maximum of three items in Part One.
All sign offs on this form must be properly maintained by the Pony or their optional Trainer in order to progress.
Ponies must be in proper tack when being tested for TB skills. This includes hoof boots, tail, hoof hands/mitts or arm binder, harness, bridle, bit (in mouth), pony AO.
Correct TB Checklist naming should be: FFF Thoroughbred Checklist 5.2 Name YYYY-MM-DD
In order to prevent international confusion, It is encouraged to use the ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD) for your sign-off and card naming.
When an item is signed off, place an ‘x’ in the box next to the item. On items where there are multiple parts to a single sign off, when all parts are completed put an ‘x’ next to the box indicating the sign off is completed.
Each level must be signed off by a Stable Mistress/Master before any sign offs can be recorded for the next level.

Each level must be signed off by a Stable Mistress/Master before any sign-offs can be recorded for the next level.
