Zoe asked in PetsHorses · 9 years ago

What level rider am I (sorry if you are getting bored of these!)?

I need to know for my new riding school.

Mounted wise I can-

-Walk,

-Trot,

-Canter,

-Jump 1.5 metre verticals in trot or canter,

-Posting trot,

- 3 loop Serpentine,

-20 metre circles,

-10 metre circles,

-I can manage with some spooks and slightly younger, greener horses,

Also, I have taken stable management lessons which have taught me:

-Points of a horse,

-Colours and Markings,

-Mucking out,

-Grooming,

-Bathing,

-Leading,

-Loading,

- Basic vaulting,

-Lunging,

-Leading young kids and disabled riders in lessons,

-Some feeding.

I probably have had 30 2 hour lessons on stable management and 16 hours worth of riding.

EVERYTHING I have mentioned is certified by my old ridng instructor as good and she said i have grasped these subjects.

Thank you.

    ...you've had 16 hours worth of riding?

    If riding a one hour lesson once a week, that's 4 months of riding.

    ...and sorry.. you jump a 1.5 metre in trot and canter? With 16 hours of riding?

    And you can already manage young, green horses!?

    Are you some kind of Superwoman?!

    i could could desire to declare.... intermediate. you particularly won't be able to choose driving. you are able to examine yet it particularly is approximately it. no be counted how long you have ridden, how lots you learn, or what you have finished, there is often greater to learn. it extremely is under no circumstances ending. i think of anybody is an Intermediate rider. Even professional running shoes. you are able to excel in one section yet lack in yet another. and you comprehend what... which will in basic terms benefit you interior the top. So under no circumstances classify your self as a undeniable form of rider. you mostly have greater to learn and new issues are popping out wide-spread :) satisfied driving :)

  • Sorry but 16 hours of riding is nothing.

    If your lessons are say 1 hour, that means you've only done 16 lessons.

    I'd Say beginner.

    Sorry, but sixteen hours in the saddle is nothing. You are just a beginner reaching the strutting stage. i.e. inflated confidence. Many folks fall into this trap in the beginning. Sixteen hours is barely a solid weekend of riding to us trail folks. No, you have only just begun. Keep at it, though.

    *if* what you've said is true, then your coach is not the smartest. and you probably shouldn't be trotting 1.5m verticles.. unless it happens in the odd situation where the horse breaks stride last minute.

  • do you know what a 1.5 meter vertical is?? are you sure you don't mean 1.5 feet/ 18 inches??? Trotting into a 1.5 meter... thats a laugh.

    1.5m verticles at trot hahahaha, and after 16 hours of riding hahaha, oh my...
