This is the first set of lesson plans for the Teal Horsemanship curriculum, with 10 detailed lessons and suggestions for modification.
Lessons can be combined, expanded or repeated as necessary. While some lessons are designed to be taught consecutively, in many cases you can mix in other lessons or rearrange the order in which topics are taught.
Lessons include:
- Dream Big
- Judge My Eq
- Holding Hands
- Dressage Demystified
- Dance Steps
- Distances by Design
- Choose Your Adventure
- Cones of Possibility
- Meet and Greet
- A New Perspective
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 girth 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.
