TRAIL RATING SYSTEM
The technical rating is a combination of your riding skill level with your horse's trail experience. These ratings come from our members and are subjective and personal. We can't be responsible for your experience, so with safety in mind, use caution when riding any unfamiliar trail. If you are uncomfortable riding any segment, get off and walk.
EASIEST Most beginning riders with experienced horses, and intermediate riders on novice trail horses will be able to ride the majority of these relatively flat, wide, and shorter easy trails.
MORE DIFFICULT For an intermediate rider on a more experienced trail horse, this trail will have elevation changes, longer loops, narrower track. May have some creek crossings or other obstacles. Most riders can enjoy these trails.
MOST DIFFICULT This is for our experienced riders on experienced trail horses. It may include wide elevation changes, drop offs, steep trails, deep water crossings, unknown obstacles. These trails will be challenging, but rewarding.
DOUBLE BLACK DIAMOND - Expert riders on very experienced horses. It may include going off trail, steep drop offs, jumps over logs, picking through downed trees, deep water crossings.
