TRAINING LEVELS

Reaching New Heights

INTRODUCTORY LEVEL

Our Introductory Level is just the beginning for students here at Ridgeline Mounted Archers! With classes in ground archery and riding equitation, we ensure that students have the necessary skills in both areas to combine them safely. Our innovative testing system gives students concrete goals to work towards and rewards for hard work and determination.

TRAINING LEVEL I AND II

At the training levels students work on honing their skills with Mounted Archery Equitation and advanced archery training while beginning to combine the two at a halt, walk and trot on the lunge line. At training levels, you start learning about straight track mounted archery courses!

LEVEL 1 AND 2

When you have passed into level 1 you will have achieved a high level of balance, strength and skill. At this level you can compete in our straight track events at a walk and trot. You will be working on perfecting your canter and passing the final test for this level which graduated you to cantering and shooting on the straight tracks!
