Help your advanced beginner students prepare for our fourth level of mounted riding lessons using this Blue Level Western Horsemanship study guide.
This “textbook” for Blue Level encourages encourages students to ride with attention to detail and an awareness of the horse’s balance, while developing the skills necessary to safely negotiate arena obstacles, run barrel patterns and ride in the open.
The Blue Level Horsemanship Study Guide covers riding with accuracy at the walk, jog, and lope, with correct diagonals, leads, and transitions, with and without stirrups. It introduces exercises for improving the seat; riding the WDAA Basic Test 1 ; aids for achieving correct bend; simple ground pole grids and related distances; barrel pattern at the lope; arena trail courses; riding in the open over hills and natural obstacles, and effective emergency stops at the lope.
