We are excited about our latest endeavor: providing specialized resources for riding instructors. Through our work, we’ve realized that many instructors, particularly in the United States, receive extensive training in horsemanship and technical expertise but little guidance on teaching people effectively. This gap in training is significant. Understanding human learning and emotions is crucial for successful instruction.

Riding often evokes strong emotions in students, such as fear, excitement, or self-judgment. Yet, instructors are rarely equipped with strategies to address these emotional responses or the science behind how people learn. To bridge this gap, we’re developing resources to help instructors manage emotions, implement effective teaching strategies, and better support their students.

As part of this initiative, we’re offering a free online class designed specifically for riding instructors, coaches, and clinicians. Join us for one of three live sessions:

• June 12 at 7:00 PM EDT
• June 16 at 12:00 PM EDT
• June 18 at 7:00 PM EDT

In this session, you’ll discover:

• Why emotional outbursts occur in the saddle, even when lessons seem to be going well
• What’s happening in a student’s nervous system during moments of distress
• How to support students without taking responsibility for their emotions

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of these dynamics and practical tools you can apply immediately in your teaching.

We’d love for you to join us!
