Revised for 2025!
The Rainbow Level study guide it is a coloring book for young riders, typically ages 4 through 7. It introduces basic English riding and horse care concepts with simple text and a full-sized illustration for each Learning Levels objective.
Rainbow Level is our special introductory level for students who are not yet able to ride and care for a pony independently. Rainbow Level students ride on the leadline, or with a “Ground Buddy” walking close by, to ensure their safety and control. They may require help with tasks such as leading and grooming, as well as the simple reading and writing required to complete the Level.
We use this guide to teach our youngest students basic safety rules and to help them understand how beginner riding lessons are structured. Perfect for children who are not quite ready for regular riding lessons, too!
We recommend reading through the material with the child and emphasizing safety rules with every ride or ground handling experience.
And who doesn’t like to color pictures of horses?
