Question: Riding Lessons - What does your riding lesson coach need to know about you?
Here is what your riding lesson instructor or coach should know about you before you begin your lessons.
Answer:
- Do you have any riding experience?
- What sports do you participate in and what's your general fitness level?
- What are your goals?
- Do you have any issues such as vision or hearing, or any physical issues?
- How confident are you about riding?
- Do you have your own helmet and riding boots?
- If your child is taking the lessons, do they have a learning disability?
- Do you have insurance? Consider buying liability insurance. Inexpensively priced through your national, state, or provincial horse association, it may protect you should a horse under your control hurt someone else.
If you aren't satisfied with your interaction, try another stable. You should feel respected and relaxed talking with a coach. It may take a while to find an instructor that you feel comfortable with.
