Thanks for the card Kim! It's beautiful... I'll talk to you later ok? I know how super busy you are. XOXOX -
Hey Kim,
You must have gotten one of the storms that JUST missed us last night. What time did it hit? I know it was kind of scary here, because we thought for sure it was going to hit...
I was thinking about you, and some other friends I have in the Holland area as the line of storms came ripping through....
My dad was cutting wood in the worst of it. Men will be men...

- I have been riding for nearly 25 years. In high school I worked with many OTTBS, training them for new careers as H/J's. I have been a professional riding instructor for several years. My goal as an instructor is to provide students with a solid foundation that will allow them to pursue the riding discipline of their choice. My teaching philosophy is safety first, followed by good overall horsemanship and love for riding. I am a strong believer in Centered Riding practices and have been studying Sally Swifts riding techniques for many years. I am currently training with an international level Eventing rider/coach.

Well, it really depends on the level of the rider. Some people pick things up much quicker then others. If you stick too closely to a lesson plan, you may go too fast or too slow for a particular rider. You should instead try to have a series of skills.... and build on them as they are each mastered. For example, my new riders learn things in this order:
Barn/Horse Safety
Catch/Lead
Groom
Tack

Body Position (Equitation - proper position and why...

As an instructor I can tell you that there is zero need to yell at students. If you yell their ability to learn stops. Positive reinforcement and focusing on what is going right is a good place to start.
Also, if a student is struggling, a good instructor (IMO) will take a step back and build up the foundation that needs to go along with the skill you are trying to master.
Riding is like a pyrimid, each skill is built on the ones before it...like pre-requisit college...
