The students learn how to adjust equipment, how to control the horse at the walk, jog, posting trot and eventually, the canter. After learning the basics the focus is on the transitions between gaits. The classes are not taught in a ring (corral). The students ride on the trail in an open field.
The classes have students of varying abilities, everyone learns at their own pace. Each student’s needs are considered when selecting the horse for them to ride. There are two teachers for each student, the instructor and the horse. Each horse will teach the rider something different.
