Equine Training Courses by Correspondence and Online
Horse Riding Instructors
I bet you remember all your horse riding instructors! I certainly do!
As an instructor you can have a profound influence on your students. You can teach them a love of learning and seeking cooperation with the horse and above all to be safe around horses and have fun. Their early experiences will be the foundation of their involvement with horses that your students will never forget.
Many people like to participate in the horse sport. Some ride for the competition, others for pleasure and relaxation. Participation in horse activities is increasing tremendously each year.
Riding horses for pleasure does not mean that people do not want to know more of the technique of riding. After all, if you know how to effectively ride a horse or how to deal with a horse safely on the ground, you’ll enjoy it so much more. When you really get involved in riding you will notice that you are so absorbed in riding that you totally forget about the stress of work. It is also very good exercise, as horse riding involves ‘all’ the muscles in the human body. So a lot of people take up horse riding for exercise and pleasure and companionship with the horse.
Unlike some other sports where you only need a tennis racket or some golf clubs, with horse riding you need the horse. The involvement and companionship with the horse adds another dimension. However, many people do not want to own a horse, because it is too expensive and takes too much time to look after. This is where you as an instructor with your own trained horses could offer a wonderful alternative, because you provide horses for the pleasure riders.
By learning to ride in safe surroundings on a trained horse people can find out if they really like riding before they spend money on a horse of their own. You can also provide a range of horses for your students to allow for their development as a rider.
To be a good instructor, all you need is patience and a passion for teaching, giving your students good basics, setting them up for life with good and safe habits around horses. Good instructors also facilitate character building and positive attitudes in their students.

In the teaching sections riding tasks are broken down into simple achievable tasks and then put together again to complete the skill. You will learn to identify the most common mistakes riders make when learning new skills. The course offers solutions how to correct these mistakes not only for your student but also to improve your own riding. This really helps you to quickly assess a rider’s performance and give concise instructions how to improve.
