“Rising Rider” is for riders of all ages who are currently or were at the "Novice" level, and are wanting a step-up and longer course. This division is also for a rider who maybe took a long break or had a confidence setback, e.g., just getting back into riding again after years but rode plenty as a kid. There are many situations in which a rider may fall under "Rising Rider" and we use the honour system! So if you are really advanced,  comfortable and have been riding many years, please enter "Mission Impossible" and "Freestyle" to leave this division for those needing to still work on their confidence. A rider may enter both "Novice" and "Rising Rider" (as well as others) at the same event. The rider may be of any age. There are 10 obstacles and a 5-minute time limit overall. Professional riders who earn money teaching and training cannot enter this division.
