Hi everyone!
We are currently on a break between sessions, and we are reminiscing on what a success Session One was! It was so wonderful to be back at the arena with our horses, participants and volunteers. A key focus for many of our participants this session was working on their mounting and dismounting techniques. These skills are a crucial piece in our participants’ quest to ride as independently as individually possible. Please join Instructor Nichole as she reviews mounting and dismounting techniques in these videos:

How to Mount a Horse

How to Dismount a Horse

Next, learn more about mounting on the left and right side of a horse with the information sheet. Next, use this fun Find Out How You Would Ride As A Knight questionnaire to learn what side you would mount and hold your sword if you were a knight. Lastly, test your knowledge with this fun Mounting & Dismounting Quiz!

We hope you enjoy these activities! Next month we will be learning about the Olympics!
