The Instructor's Handbook isn't just for Pony Club Coaches and Instructors: it's essential reading for anyone involved with the teaching and organisation of children and ponies at any level.

It explains the general principles of instruction and the practicalities of taking both mounted and dismounted lessons.  It covers school movements and exercises, preliminary work over poles, and jumping, as well as preparation for competitions.  There is advice on road safety, giving lectures, and organising games, quizzes, and other activities.  Throughout the book, the emphasis is on safety, and due consideration is given to the special requirements of beginners and the very young.  Use it in conjunction with The Manual of Horsemanship. (Which is listed seperately for sale).
