Riding trails are categorized by their difficulty level, ranging from smooth pasture trails up to rocky mountain trails. Identify different types of riding trails with helpful advice from an experienced trail boss in this video on horseback riding.
Hi, I'm Judy Smith. I'm from Battleground, Washington. I've been trail riding for many years, and I'm just here to talk to you about the different kinds of trails there are. We call them different levels. The easy trails are called level one, and that's like your state parks, your county parks. There's might be a bridge, but a short one. The trails are nice and wide, just very, very, very easy trails. Your moderate trails, your level two trails are a little bit more difficult. There might be a bridge. There might be a culvert crossing. No stream crossings; just a little bit more... The trails are a little bit steeper, just a little bit more rugged. And then, you get to your difficult trails, and there you will have stream crossings. You'll have bridges. The trails might be a little bit narrower. You'll run into different kinds of terrain. And then, your level four trails are your most difficult and there you can run into anything. You'll be crossing streams. Besides bridges, you'll have rocky terrain. You'll have drop off trails. Those are for the most experienced riders, and you work up to that point. As you start with your easy; then you move to your moderate. And then, you go to the difficult. And then, if you have enough courage, then you start into the back country with the most difficult trails. So, have a great time whatever type of trail you choose.
