Here are some guidelines to help you judge your riding ability: Beginner: A rider with little or no experience. Novice: A rider who is comfortable and in control at the walk and/or trot but has limited experience trotting and/or cantering. Intermediate: A rider who is confident and in control in all paces (including posting trots, two point canters and gallops), but does not ride regularly. Strong Intermediate: An intermediate rider who is currently riding regularly and is comfortable in the saddle for at least 6 hours per day. Advanced: All of the above plus the ability to handle a spirited horse in open country.
