5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for riders & instructors, January 18, 2001

Wow - a great book for both riders and instructors. Coming from both perspectives, I was very impressed on the information I was able to take out and apply to my own program. Lesson structure, yoga excercises, communication and awareness, and I am still reading! Recommend for all levels and disciplines - the first I have seen of its kind.

As both a teacher and rider I found this book full of great ideas and perspectives. I have purchased it for the younger instructors in our barn because it covers aspects of teaching that no other book covers like communication styles, burnout, professionalism, lesson planning, and other tools to enhance riding and teaching. Each section has an excellent bibliography that is helpful. Great book for both new and old instructors.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greats, March 27, 2003

Awesome book. Compiles some related information that is not in many basic books on teaching riding. This is a good source of information for green and experienced riding teachers. It has the basics described in other teaching texts, while also going into some depth on related subjects. The case studies are a nice touch. Also in this book are ideas that may help experienced teachers regain enthusiasm for their task - the best of us have times when what we do taps out our energy for doing more of it. This has also been used as a college textbook.
