This sample set of lesson plans for Red Level Horsemanship in the Learning Levels equine curriculum teaches flatwork skills to beginner Western riders, with detailed lessons and suggestions for modification.
Includes 2 FREE lessons:
- Cattle Drive
- Out and About
Each lesson plan has 2 pages of information:
- A list of required equipment, including notes on setting the arena and pre-lesson preparation.
- A suggested breakdown of instructional content presented over the course of an hour. (Note that breaks for water or cinch checks are not written in; make sure to include these as needed!)
- Ideas for games and modifications when teaching private and group lessons.
- Additional thoughts and cautionary notes covering scenarios you may face during the course of the lesson.
We also have sets of equitation patterns, ground pole/jump courses, and obstacle courses suitable for each Level—all of which can be incorporated into one of these plans or taught separately.
