WHAT IS A COACH 1?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Western Coach 1 is a dedicated enthusiastic person capable of teaching at the beginner level. This level stresses safety, basic horsemanship and teaching abilities. Basic teaching abilities should include patience in working with beginners, encouragement of students to enjoy riding as well as knowledge of the basic principles of riding. Safety must be stressed in such a way as to promote respect but not fear of the horse. Safety measures taught should include safe dress and tack, safe horse handling from the ground and when mounted, and road safety.
