A Beginners Chase is for horses that have never won a chase (or steeplechase) before.
The difference between a Maiden Chase and a Beginners Chase is that Maiden Chase's are only open to horses that have not won under NH rules (eg a hurdles race), whereas a horse that has won over hurdles CAN run in a Beginners Chase.

A Beginners' Steeplechase is for horses which have never won a chase (i.e. over fences) other than a Match or Point to Point (it has nothing to do with the level of the jockey)

It means sore muscles and rear end from riding. When you ride, you take up a lot of the "jolt" with your legs, which stresses your thigh muscles a lot. And the horse goes up and down as it walks (except when you're going very slowly), which means that your rear end meets the saddle abruptly if you don't know how to ride well. Six hours is an awfully long time for a first ride - she will indeed be saddle sore for a couple of days. Also, the rubbing of her thighs on the saddle can cause "rug burns" to develop on her legs - raw skin in other words. Two hours max is what I would recommend unless she's ready to feel like she's played a full football match - the entire game - as a center halfback. They may think it's funny, but it won't be - it will HURT. Aspirin and a hot bath is highly recommended.

A beginners chase is for a horse that is having its first season over fences. THATS THE REAL ANSWER

It is a race for novice riders and horses over fences.
