TRAIL RIDE RATING SYSTEM
NOVICE - Ride is suitable for all riding abilities
from novice through expert. Trails are easy and well marked &
the ride has a sufficient organization to provide a good degree of
support. Caution - water crossings, etc. may be present
on trail. Often a ride's short loop will be suitable for novice
riders even if the ride is rated "intermediate"
INTERMEDIATE - The ride would be more suitable for
riders who have a few affiliated miles to their credit or who can
engage the assistance of an advanced rider. The trail will be
more challenging for the rider and the horse and will require a
higher degree of expertise on the part of the rider and better
conditioning on the part of the horse. Trails might be hilly and /or
have rough footing but will generally have more scenic routes.
ADVANCED - These rides are rated advanced because the
terrain over which they are run will present some unique challenges
& will require a more precise knowledge of your own abilities &
those of your mount. They should be approached with
caution and preparation.
PARKING KEY
A - Flat, level area with good entrance
B - Parking area requires some expertise
C - Call ahead for the best approach if you have a large trailer or
low clearance.
