In order to participate in the Intermediate Rider Program, candidates must hold a current Ontario Equestrian Federation (OEF) membership and a Western Level 4 certificate.

The passing mark for each of the components is 70%. A certificate for each component is issued upon completion and the appropriate fees being paid, with a final certificate indicating completion of the entire program. Any number of Intermediate Rider Tests may be taken at one time. Candidates may use more than one horse during the examinations. Candidates must be recommended in writing by a Coach 2 to take any Intermediate Rider Exams Minimum ring sizes for all Intermediate Rider testing is 100 x 50 except for the Intermediate Western Riding test which is 120 x 50.

Riders will be asked to work both ways of the ring at all three gaits, and at the option of the examiner may be asked to extend the walk, jog or lope, one or both ways of the ring. They will be required to back, stand quietly and to reverse to the inside. They may be asked to reverse at either the walk or the jog. TRAIL COMPONENT In this component the rider will guide the horse through and around a series of obstacles that could be encountered during a trail ride. The course will be set up to demonstrate the care and concentration of the horse. A walk, jog and lope will be included in the pattern and the rider must complete it using only one hand on the reins. Prerequisites for the Horse: backup; turn on the forehand; sidepass; transitions; turn on the haunches; stop Prerequisites for the Rider: patience; rapport with the horse; understanding horse psychology The five mandatory obstacles in the Intermediate Rider Program are: gate; logs; back-through; bridge and sidepass Optional obstacles: 360 deg. turn; carrying an object WESTERN RIDING COMPONENT This component is judged on lead changes, movement, the horse s response to the rider s aids and his attitude while performing a specified pattern. Emphasis will be placed on smooth, even cadence of gaits and the horse s ability to change leads precisely, easily and simultaneously both hind and front at the center point between markers. The horse should have a relaxed head carriage showing response to the rider s hands with moderate flexion at the poll. The Western Riding pattern includes the walk, jog and a lope over a log, several flying lead changes, two tracking, halt and rein back.
