Riding Level , Plus you can hear My life riding horses !! ( I fixed it so it's readable)?

Question

Hey everyone ! Sorry about My post yesterday , I broke My thumb and its hard for me to type on My phone ... But anyways I'll retell My story so I can get more legitimate answers ! I need to know My riding level because I would like to know if I should go to more advanced shows this summer , My instructer pretty much just lets us go to any shows we please ... But I do not want to make a fool of Myself.. so heres My horse riding story and You can put in your opinion .. I just wanted to hear from fellow equestrians !

Ok , at age 3 ( I am 13 now ) I was given My first pony ... Butter.. And  I started riding her immediately. (I ride at a stable) I continued to ride and show her, but I soon outgrew her , plus I needed to move up to bigger more challenging horse. I ride Huntseat on the flat mostly. I can ride saddleseat , but I only ride saddleseat when a saddleseat horse needs a really good attitude adjustment.. LOL . I started to ride a dressage horse named scarlet , and I rode her for a year ... But Then I met ben (A thourogbred .. i believe thats how you spell it... And I started jumping him .. We eventually were jumping 4 feet in the show ring .. And we were champions multiple times .  Then I met Charlie an American Saddlebred .. He was very Young ( we guessed 3 or so ,possibly 4) I helped My  trainer fully break him and teach him how to rack ... Then I showed him in his very first horse show . (We placed 4th out if 6 .. Not bad for his first time in the ring !) The owners gave him to me but as I said before I am not fond of saddleseat, and My Friend wanted a horse really bad .. Her birthday was comeing up so I gave him to her for her birthday !! :D . Then I purchased My 5 year old Arabian ..  I love him more than Life itself ! And I am currently teaching him how to jump .. (He has junped two feet so far and Im proud of him !) So please give your input ! Thank you !! :D

With out seeing you ride, it is nearly impossible to give an accurate answer on your riding level. Plenty of non-horse people buy horses and enter competitions, they jump fences, they do all sorts of stuff with their horses that they don't really know how to ride; I end up re-training a lot of them, a lot end up in the auction.. my point being that you can tell us (and I'm sure you did) jump your horse __ feet high, but without seeing you no one can actually tell you what level you are. 

Are you wanting to ask if you should enter your Arabian in shows? I think that you could try 4H or pony club shows. or you could do lower local shows.

the age of your first show doesn't really play part either.. (I grew up in a horse family, my first show was the week I turned 3, my sister was at 6, my brothers were at ages 3 and 5 in their first shows/competitions). my sister never won until she was 14, my brothers won their first shows at ages 4 and 16. 

you NEED a video of you riding for us to tell what your level of riding is. (generally when people have to ask what their riding level is, they usually are beginners or advanced beginners)

Good luck! (I hope to see a video in your next re-post of this question)
