• PALM PARTNERSHIP TRAINING™ •

questions and get feedback that allows him/her to evaluate the rider’s understanding. A rider must realize that instructors are not miracle workers. Learning to ride is like life! Some days everything goes great, and other days bring harder challenges that take more time and effort to master. Above all, learning to ride should be fun and bring you into greater partnership with your horse! When you find a great riding instructor, he/she will become a very important person in your life. A great instructor has the ability to make you and your horse very happy as you progress in your riding and/or the training of your horse. The relationship between rider and instructor is a partnership, and the instructor reaps rewards from helping riders to grow and improve.

Building a Partnership with Your Horse -

EVALUATING A RIDING INSTRUCTOR By Lynn Palm www.LynnPalm.com • 1-800-503-2824 Last month, I shared my recommendations for selecting a riding instructor and the importance of his/her p e r s o n a l i t y, t e a c h i n g credentials and capability. In this article, I’d like to share some suggestions on how to evaluate a riding instructor in order to find a professional who can help you improve your riding skills. First Impressions Count Before selecting your instructor, first observe several lessons given by that person. Then try a lesson yourself either on your own horse or a school horse. Whether in the barn, leading the horse, mounting, or in the arena, your overall impression should be that the instructor’s first concern is for the safety of the horse and rider. Before starting a class, the instructor should double check the fitting of the tack for each horse and rider. Girths, stirrups, and other tack should be properly adjusted. The instructor should inspect all riders to make sure they are wearing properly fitting, approved safety helmets and appropriate boots. If the lesson is given at the instructor’s facility, look for evidence of his/her concern for safety, upkeep of tack, and appreciation for his/her horse’s health and well being in the general management of the operation. Once the lesson is under way, obser ve the instructor’s teac-hing style and techniques. Just like riders, instructors have different personalities and teaching methods. Good

instructors make learning interesting. They are able to modify a lesson to accommodate differences in the riders’ age, skill level, and understanding. The presentation style should relate to the rider audience. Parents who are observing lessons for children should take an active part in evaluating an instructor and not assume that all teaching is quality instruction. Teaching Should Build Skills Lessons should challenge the rider through simple, gradual steps that encourage building the skills needed to achieve the objectives. Ask yourself if the instructor’s communication skills are clear and concise. Are the lesson’s objectives clearly stated by the instructor at the beginning of the lesson and summarized at the end? Is the instructor easy to hear and understand? Does his/her voice tone punctuate the lesson’s important points and reinforce its objectives? Teaching is a two-way process between instructor and rider. Instructors should help students answer the question “why” for every skill that they learn. Because riding is a sport and lessons typically cannot be immediately perfected, it is important that the student understands the principles behind each new skill. I believe that when a student understands why a skill is done, then, he/she will have a greater incentive to practice and perfect it. A good instructor takes the time necessary to answer a rider’s

(24)

Try to remember when you do have a bad day riding, that you will have many more good days. Also, remember that an eye on the ground is very important to your progress in the sport of riding. Video instruction is also a valuable tool to use to improve your riding. In my Exercises for Equestrians series, I teach riders exercises for relaxation, stretching, and flexibility to help achieve better balance on the horse. In my Hunt Seat Equitation series, I teach riders throughout it and critique their form for the show ring. The Palm Partnership Training Course and the Palm Partnership Training Agility Course are also excellent aids.

NEW YEAR'S DAY RIDE On January 1st, 2011, R Windy Acres of Hanover, MI, hosted their 5th Annual New Years Day ride. This year over 57 riders were on hand as the Runyons open there home to anyone who wanted to bring in the New year on their horse, or any one just wanting to hang out with some horse people. The food there was plentiful and good! Kris Runyon made chili and barbeque pork. All the riders and guests brought dishes of food to pass. “I don't think any one left hungr y,” says Gordon Runyon, who started the New Years Day ride when he moved here 6 years ago from Belleville, MI. Gordon says he likes to bring in the New Year on his horse with friends, fellow workers and any one who wants to ride. “If you came without your horse that was okay. Just come in and visit, eat an enjoy others for good conversation.” Says Gordon, “This year we wanted to do something different, so we gave prizes away.” Gordon's mother, Ann Runyon, made an afghan, Tractor Supply of Albion donated cast iron cookware, Kris Runyon brought lots of other gifts including a fishing pole she pick up at Cabala's. The ride was limited to road riding as the temps hit 50 degrees and the rain from the day before had melted the snow and made fields soft and muddy. All in all, riders rode about 8 miles. There was a big bonfire, and great weather, along with good friends. (26)

Gordon and Kris have all ready started planning for next year's ride. Check out www.rwindyacres.webs.com for more information and other events they're planning for 2011 and 2012, pr give them a call at 517-524-9046, Gordy’s cell 517-398-3981.
