“We have started back up our intro lesson


program for those who call about the Discovery Centers.” – Ann Petrasak, Talbot Run Equestrian Center (Carroll County)


“We are back to offering lessons but eased into it. We also produced a video that is on our website to show riders the new [COVID-19] protocols. We’ve been getting several new rider inquires for both our discovery center and therapeutic programs.” – Ann Joyner, Talisman Therapeutic Riding (Queen Anne’s County)

develop and attain goals that allow for individualized success? • Do the instructors use diverse instruc- tional strategies to communicate to stu- dents in a positive and eff ective manner that promotes a growth mindset and cel- ebrates success?


2) Horses T e horses are just as important as the


instructor to the success of riding lessons. Even if you know nothing about horses, there are some basic indicators about a horse’s health. Simple things to look for include shiny coats and a happy attitude so ask yourself while visiting a lesson stable: • Do the horses seem happy with their jobs, healthy and well cared for? (Each horse is diff erent on any given day, but is the overall impression of the school herd a positive one?)


3) Students


• Do the students seem happy to be in class? (Even the most seriously concen- trating student should smile at some point during the lesson!) • Do they seem excited about the lesson? (Students who are happy about their les- sons are eager to get started!)


4) Safety & Responsibility • Does the barn stress safety when riding and working with horses? (Riding can be a dangerous sport and it is vital that les- son facilities teach students how to ride and work around horses in the safest manner possible. ) • Is the tack and equipment used by the students and horses clean and in good re-

pair? (Tack should be well oiled, free of tears and with stitching in good shape. If helmets are provided, they should bear labeling attest- ing that they meet safety standards, and look relatively new as helmets should be replaced every few years.)


5) Facility Maintenance • Is the overall impression of the barn one of neatness and tidiness? (Barns do not need to be spotless but should be reasonably well main- tained, free of trash, and have equipment prop- erly stored. Aisles should be free of clutter to allow safe passing of horses.)


Make the Most Out of Your Riding Experience


Riding is a fun and enjoyable learning experi-


ence. Here are a few tips to get the most out of your lessons. • Be on time, or even a bit early! • Be sure to consider the horse’s welfare before and after the lesson and ask your instructor what you can do to help with the horse’s day to day care. • Listen to the instructor and avoid chatting with others during your lesson. • Wait for the instructor to tell you the lesson is over before dismounting. • Be sure to thank your instructor at the end of each lesson. • Try to avoid excessive cancelling and resched- uling of lessons. It disrupts the barn’s routine and it interferes with your learning process. • If you have concerns about the lesson program or your progress, ask to chat with the instructor or program head outside of lesson times. • If possible, off er to help out around the barn by sweeping the aisleways or cleaning tack and you will quickly learn more about horses than just the riding part!
