Frequently asked questions
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
When shopping around for a riding instructor here are some things to look for:
-Condition of the horses, if you can see ribs or open sores (especially on the horses' back) which are left unatended stay away!
-Watch a lesson given to a current student before signing up. You can see what their training style is like and if it is compatible with you (or your child) and it is free.
-Talk to the current students, how long have they been with this trainer? How much improvement have they made? What do they like or dislike?
-Ask lots of questions, I can't stress this enough. I love it when I am asked a ton of questions by a perspective client. Any trainer that gets annoyed, "talks down" to you, can't answer or their response isn't clear is probably not the best choice.
-Remember that there is no governing body for Riding Instructors. There are no guidelines or rules because there is no one to enforce them. So anybody can have a couple of horses and call themselves a "trainer".
-A "certified" trainer or instructor only shows that person had enough money and spare time to go through the 2 week course. Which is good, but don't pass up a non-certified instructor that you connect with for certified one that is so-so.
