agree awilliams : "advanced riding". I have assumed that Nancy is still working on her tourist guide and that this is an activity laid on for the tourists. If it were an activity laid on for tourists then I'd go for this. If in another context then"competition riding" yes.

neutral Achilyse : I assume that since équitation is feminine, then en Français for use in a sentence the proper form would be l'équitation, correct?

agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : If in a toursit context, this is fine. Otherwise, be careful as the term "haut niveau" in french sports contexts has a very specific meaning.

neutral cjohnstone : do you ever ride on the tommy ? I know usual parlance but so useless nowadays

what is a tommy?
neutral Sarah Ponting : I think she means "tummy", but she's got a point... and the repetition (riding...riders) doesn't sound too good

"the processor processes" doesn't sound good either but it is correct and common usage

high level (or competition) riding

i'd drop the horseback bit, i rarely ride my stallion on its tummy...i know it is a usual phrase but a bit dictionary smelling to a rider (not a horseback rider!)
Peer comment(s):

agree Jean-Luc Dumont

agree awilliams : how could we argue with the horse? I'm no expert but competition riding implies that the participants (tourists) are going to compete (I think) - so "advanced" would have a better ring. IMO "high level" =riding at altitude:) No "horseback", as you say.
