Intermediate Riders should be able to be independent at the walk and trot. They should also be able to groom and tack up their horses properly without adjustment from their instructors. Riders with strong enough skills at walk and trot can learn to canter. Intermediate riders continue to hone their skills and proper technique, and they’ll learn more about horse care and management. 

Dupont Derby lessons for intermediate riders are filled with mounted and unmounted lessons, activities. Intermediate riders may also have the opportunities to work toward attending local horse shows in Leadline and Walk-Trot divisions, once shows start happening again.
