This printable set has a horse paper doll that can be tacked up with common pieces of English and Western tack.
Instructors can create a re-useable demonstration set for teaching tack basics. When used as part of a lesson, beginner students play with the paper dolls to learn tack terminology, the purpose of each piece of tack, and the correct order for placing items on a horse. Or have students color the printed pages during a private or group lesson, camp or clinic. If time or lack of helpers doesn’t allow for cutting out pieces during the lesson, students could take colored pages home and cut pieces with parental assistance.
The PDF file includes three additional pages that can be used as answer keys, with images of fully tacked-up horses. These pages are also suitable as simple coloring pages for lessons or horsey homework.
For a fun show-and-tell, send students home with several copies of all the pages to create their own herd of horses with a wardrobe of colorful tack!
Instructions page has helpful tips for printing and cutting out the horse and tack – including a magnetic set you can use as a teaching tool.
