Thanks for your good comments. I wish you the best of luck with your teaching. Good for you for the three ring binders. You could get creative with those for your teaching business if you get the ones that allow you to slide a paper in the front for a cover.

Anatomy, grooming, “don’t ever curry below the knees!” Tacking up; make sure the forelock is nice,flat & pulled forward under the crown of bridle. Put the pad & saddle high on withers then slide to posistion so coat is flat. Tighten the girth to keep saddle on, walk around arena, tighten & walk, tighten & mount properly.

I went to a H/J stable later in life & though the kids were jumping 3’+, many of the basics were lost on them.

Soon I will be teaching a small group of young beginners. They will each get 3 ring binders, folders, hand-outs, etc. This article gave me ideas, love bridle assembly contest! That also teaches cleaner tack is easier to work with- a 2 in 1 win!
