This simple one-page worksheet is a great tool to help students in mounted beginner lessons learn how to evaluate their equitation. Prompts for discussion of balance and alignment include the things they do well, the areas that need work, and their goals for improvement.
Can be used at any point in your lesson schedule, but we suggest using them several times a year to help students see their progression and refresh their goals as needed.

We’ve been blessed with many talented photographers over the years: students who voluntarily stood in sweltering/ freezing arenas, capturing lifelong memories of lessons, camps and shows. We’re grateful to all of them!
One former student, Delaney Witbrod, is now a professional photographer with a gift for animal portraits – see more of her fine work here. We’re also grateful for photos of Western riding donated by LLPro instructors – particularly Bit of Pleasure Horse School and Joyful Hearts Photography!
You’ll find illustrations throughout our online courses and printed materials graciously donated by our friend Rhonda Hagy. Evan Surrusco contributes additional illustrations and handles most of our photo processing. Contact us for information about their work.
