[quote=Anonymous]What skills is your daughter working on right now? (That’s easier than asking for a level, because everyone has a different idea of what an “advanced beginner” is — is it being able to trot and steer at the same time? Or not being able to jump anything over 3’?) I ask because school ponies are notorious for their excellent energy conservation and rider evaluation skills. The same horse that a newish rider can barely get to trot along the rail without cutting in, is the one that more experienced seat and hands can package and turn into a balanced, responsive Novice eventer. If your daughter can only ride one type of horse (one who hasn’t learned to tune out background noise and only respond when aids ask the question correctly), that tells me she needs more time on the harder horses, not the push-button ones.
