The second phase in a Working Equitation competition is the Ease of Handling and is the trademark of the sport. There are usually between 8 to 15 obstacles numbered in the order they are to be completed. The rider chooses their navigation from one obstacle to the next in their level's prescribed gait. Riders receive scores from 0 to 10 for each obstacle including collective marks. The scores are calculated into a percentage.
