Teaching effectively with a broad brush

Equestrian Instruction: An Integrated Approach came to my attention because it is the text for the local university's equine instructor's course. Masterfully and comprehensively written, Equestrian Instruction provides any inspiring or accomplished riding instructor of any discipline contents that are useful and easy to understand. For this reason, we use it for our SCRT Riding Instructor Certificate program.

One of the greats

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.

A highly recommended, integrative approach to riding.

Two fine equestrian instructionals are highly recommended picks for those with more than a casual interest in the sport. Jill K. Hassler-Scoop's Equestrian Instruction provides an integrated approach to learning and teaching to supplement riding teachers' instructions and experience. Equestrians are instructed on how to improve their riding and teaching skills alike, with chapters exploring the basics of developing consistency, teaching open-mindedness to students, and achieving results in horse riding lessons. Plenty of case histories provide practical examples of teaching and riding challenges in action.

Great for all instructors

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.

Excellent book for riders & instructors

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.
