This 208-page comprehensive guide offers must-have information for any riding instructor—whether that instructor has been teaching their entire career or is just starting out.

"The Equine Professional Manual: The Art of Teaching Riding is a must-have resource for anyone that teaches horseback riding," said CHA Treasurer and Research and Development Committee Chair Terry Williams, who spearheaded the project for CHA. "This manual is unique in that it is not riding style specific. The Equine Professional Manual was written and compiled by professionals in the equine industry. These professionals, including riding instructors, clinicians, lawyers, veterinarians, and college professors, contributed to this manual to share in supporting CHA's promotion of safety, fun, and education in the equine industry. CHA has proven success as an industry leader as it celebrates in 2017 its 50th Anniversary and continues to 'Change Lives Though Safe Experiences with Horses.' "

The manual is divided into the following sections: Riding Programs, Teaching Techniques, The Riding Student, Communication—The Art of Teaching, The Horse, Application of Teaching Techniques, Arena Instruction, Risk Management, and Horse Management. Within these sections, the manual delves into topics such as: the different types of riding programs and their philosophies, how to plan a program, characteristics of a good instructor, why people learn to ride, types of learners, how different types of learning relate to horsemanship, problem solving, interpreting student feedback, motivating students, effective communication, choosing and training lesson horses, where to get lesson horses, acclimating the lesson horse to the program, tack and saddle fit , matching riders to horses, safety considerations, rider organization in the arena, horse temperament, rider skill level, facilities, financial resources, risk management and accident prevention, burnout, staff, training, contracts, accounting, emergency management, horse health and nutrition, pasture management, and so much more.

At the end of the manual, the Resource Appendix offers sample forms for riding instructors to use in their business, such as an evaluation ride checklist, a progressive class record, evaluation progress sheets, lesson plans, schedules for horses, a monthly horse work calendar, first aid kit lists, horse job performance evaluation, horse training record, a tack cleaning and repair schedule, routine barn maintenance record, a feeding schedule, a horse ID and health record form and a horse injury/illness treatment record, what should be included in a sales contract, sample business plans, and a variety of sample riding lessons. It's worth it to purchase the book just for the sample forms.

You Can "Ride With The Best" in a Clinic at Equine Affaire

 

London, OH, December 7, 2016— Extraordinary shopping opportunities, dozens of breeds of horses from around the world, the best in equine entertainment, and an unparalleled program of clinics, seminars, and demonstrations on a wide range of disciplines and equine-related topics. Where else but Equine Affaire, North America's premiere equine exposition and equestrian gathering?

 

The cornerstone of every Equine Affaire is education—and for avid horse people than can mean the opportunity to soak up a wealth of information from top equestrians and industry professionals by attending more than 200 different sessions over the four days of Equine Affaire. But, for those who want to garner even more from their Equine Affaire experience, the event offers the opportunity to participate in dozens of clinics on a wide range of equestrian disciplines. 

 

The 2017 Equine Affaire will take place at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus on April 6^th through the 9^th. Whether your equestrian interest leans toward a particular western or English discipline or you spend most of your time in the show arena or on the trail, Equine Affaire's unique "Ride With The Best" program offers you opportunities to receive individual instruction or have your horse trained in clinics conducted by many of the nation's foremost coaches, competitors, judges, and horse trainers—for clinic fees designed to fit your budget.

 

The Clinics and Clinicians. Among the presenters who have been confirmed as of press time to participate in the "Ride With The Best" program this April are general horse and horsemanship trainers Guy McLean, Dan James, Julie Goodnight, Lynn Palm, Brandi Lyons, Steve Lantvit, and Sandi Simons. Clinicians offering sessions in the western disciplines will include Dick Pieper (reining), Chad Crider (barrel racing), Lynn Palm (western dressage), and Tony Kennedy (cutting).  Those confirmed to conduct clinics on English disciplines will include John Pearce (jumping), Matt McLauglin (dressage), and Casi Gilliam (hunter under saddle).  Anita Howe will also be on hand to present sessions on training and riding easy gaited horses, Dana Bright will conduct driving clinics, Wendy Murdoch will offer clinics on equine and human biomechanics, Sean Patrick will teach trail and trail class riding skills, and Steve Edwards will provide insight into the training of mules and donkeys.  Additional presenters are being finalized for clinics on eventing, dressage, western pleasure, and English pleasure and will be announced soon.

 

If you have one or more horses that are halter broke and ready to be started under saddle, you may want to consider applying to have your horse trained by Guy McLean in Equine Affaire's "Foundation First" clinics.  Mr. McLean will train two unbroke horses to be ridden—one horse on Thursday and Friday and a second horse on Saturday and Sunday at the event.

 

Clinic fees and how to apply.  The modest clinic fees for Equine Affaire's "Ride With The Best" program range from $75 for a single clinic to $350 for the multi-session  "Foundation First" clinics and include clinic participation, stabling, and admission to Equine Affaire.   Clinicians will select the participants for their sessions from written applications and videos submitted by applicants to Equine Affaire.

 

Full clinic details and a "Ride With The Best" application are available at equineaffaire.com. Click on the Ohio event and follow the "Participate" link to the "Ride in Clinics" link. You may also request an information packet and clinic application by contacting Alison Scott at ascott@equineaffaire.com or by calling (740) 845-0085 ext. 105.  Be sure to consult equineaffaire.com for continuously-updated information on clinicians and sessions added in the "Ride With The Best" program.   The application deadline is February 15^th.  Don't miss the unique and affordable clinic opportunities offered at Equine Affaire. 

 

In addition to Equine Affaire's legendary educational program, the 2017 show will feature the largest horse-related trade show in North America with more than 450 retailers and manufacturers filling four buildings at the Ohio Expo Center. Other highlights will include Equine Affaire's signature musical celebration of the horse--the Fantasia sponsored by Absorbine®--on Thursday-Saturday nights; an extensive Breed Pavilion and Horse & Farm Exhibits area; the Equine Fundamentals Forum;  the Versatile Horse & Rider Competition on Friday; and the Marketplace at Equine Affaire—a consignment store featuring quality tack, apparel, and equine equipment for horse & rider.

She held qualifying barrel races all across the U.S. Big prizes will be awarded to the age division winners including Circle Y signature Kelly Kaminski barrel saddles. All Kaminski’s barrel saddles are designed to put the rider in a perfect, balanced positon with an emphasis on the horse’s comfort.

Lockhart qualified for her 10th trip to the NFR and will compete in her Circle Y 1550 Ambition barrel saddle. Designed for the horse’s freedom of movement, Lockhart’s signature Flex2® barrel saddles feature a low profile fit for close contact and are designed for foundation type horses that need a wider fit from shoulder to loin. She’s had a super year and most recently took the World Champion Barrel Racer title at the inaugural ERA Rodeo World Finals.

“We’re looking forward to watching this year’s competition and also meeting the up-and-coming rodeo generations at KK’s Run for Vegas. We wish Lisa and Louie the very best at this year’s NFR,” said Scott Thomas, Performance Brand Manager.
