Cochran Horse Treks riding competency levels.
Beginner - gaining confidence rising to the trot and learning to canter.
Intermediate - a confident rider who is regularly riding outside an arena rising to the trot and demonstrating a controlled canter.
Advanced - a frequent rider who is saddle fit with independent seat and soft hands who is confident on a forward moving horse in open country.
Horse trekking over multiple days requires a minimum level of riding competence and fitness. We don't offer riding lessons and our shortest ride is 3 days. Each day we cover more than 20kms so the ability and balance of the rider is critical to the well being of the horse and to the enjoyment for all other riders in the group.
To be suitable for one of our treks your riding ability needs to be at Intermediate level or above. This is in agreement with our insurance provider and is built in to our Risk Management Policy. All riders must be able to get on and off a horse without assistance (logs or rocks are not counted as assistance).
