Teaching Children to Ride: A Handbook for Instuctors
Learning to ride should be fun, progressive and constructive but all too often children can be easily frightened or put off. Teaching them is not easy. This book offers advice, exercises, lesson plans, games and teaching tips designed to provide variety and sound instruction, plus a fund of innovative ideas for making learning to ride an enjoyable, worthwhile and satisfying experience, even for the very young. Includes advice on planning a lesson; teaching the basics; starting and finishing lessons; mid lesson breaks; fun exercises for early lessons; trotting and using poles; cantering and introducing jumping; advanced work for older children; riding out and mounted games. 'A truly wonderful book, full of inspirational, challenging ideas... a must for anyone wanting their children to grow into riders that are good enough to enjoy and succeed in any area of riding'.
