Be sure to input your rider’s height, weight, and skill level into the system. Please note that the system currently doesn’t allow us to alter the rider skill level terms/descriptions. It is difficult to put abilities into words, so please adhere to the following as a guideline:
0 – No experience: Rider is working on steering at the walk and/or trot. Rider is not yet eligible for a group lesson.
1 – Beginner: Rider can steer at the walk & trot on their own. Rider may be beginning to canter. Rider may be able to jump small cross-rails up to 12″.
2 – Basic skills: Rider can walk, trot, and canter around the entire arena on a variety of horses. Rider can jump up to 18″ on a variety of horses.
3 – Advanced: Rider can walk, trot, and canter a large circle on a variety of horses. Rider can jump a course of 4 or more fences up to 2′ on a variety of horses.
4 – Experienced: Rider can walk, trot, and canter a small circle on a variety of horses. Rider can jump a course of 8 or more fences up to 2’7″ on a variety of horses.
We will only confirm a rider’s chosen skill level if their selection matches with our perspective of their abilities.
- For example: If we believe you should be “4 – Experienced” and you select “3 – Advanced”, we will not confirm your skill level. Likewise, if we believe you should be “1 – Beginner” and you select “2 – Basic skills”, we will not confirm your skill level.
Please reach out to us at ridewithfmf2@gmail.com if you would like us to review your selected skill level.
