If you’re a riding instructor, you already know how much you’re carrying.

Between horses, riders, safety, parents, emails, scheduling and volunteers for some, lesson planning can be quick to falls to the back burner – even when you care deeply about doing a good job.

And when you do have time to plan, it can be hard to find activities that:

  • Feel fun without feeling childish

  • Build real riding and horsemanship skills

  • Support regulation and connection

  • Work for different riders, levels, and abilities

  • Make sense to parents, programs, and volunteers

That’s why I decided to share these ideas with you.

“I’ve spent more than 20 years teaching real riders in real programs and I know how hard this job can be at times. Lesson planning takes time. And finding activities that build skills and connection isn’t always straightforward. 

This packet was created to support instructors who care deeply – and want the tools that reflect that passion.”
