Show Me Cards – Rainbow Level

Learning Levels Downloads

Helpful information about this resource:

Printable Show Me Cards for Rainbow Level allow young students to demonstrate simple horsemanship skills. Our students love using these cards while mounted in a challenge box — especially when they can use it to earn prizes.

We build the challenge box in the arena using four ground poles or cones. Each student rides to the box, steps in, and asks the horse to halt; they then choose a Show Me Card from your hand. The card is read out loud, then the student must demonstrate that card’s skill.

It’s a simple and effective tool that adds a fun element of surprise to any lesson. Show Me Cards can be used for private lessons, or for group lessons where riders exit the challenge box and ride to high-five the next rider.

Use our cards as a starting point and create your own unique Challenge Card Sets!

See Rainbow Horsemanship Lesson Plans – Set 2: Saddle Skills for more ideas.

This set has 24 cards.

The first page of cards is an optional “back side” for the cards. You can just print the card pages and leave the back side of each card blank – but we like the name of the card set on the back to help keep things organized.

This file contains a back page and 6 pages of cards.

Print all six pages, then cut them into four cards each, which will give you a total of 24 cards in the set.

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.
