Format: Thursday will be training with lesson planning, coach observations and anything else required, then we start assessing on the Friday.
There will be a late afternoon discussion session on Thursday and Friday to clarify any training or assessing tips to improve the techniques for the following day.
It is assumed that if you are attending to be assessed that you are coaching regularly or are confident coaching groups and your knowledge is at or above the level. (Feel free to discuss via email or phone to confirm your standard).
There is also availability for riders who would like to be training or assessed at a higher level to come along..
We will start at 8.30 daily. The assessing days must be run to schedule because we have external riders arriving for your lessons. Coaches will be teaching every 45mins.
Please be familiar with the coaching books. For Level 1 and 2, it is preferable that you have done your coach observations, and your risk assessment prior, so we can just work on the coaching aspects.
For those who need to complete you horse management and riding sections followed by the orientation to coaching – please contact Sarah as soon as possible to discuss (0417) 419229 or [email protected]
Riders may be assessed for their next riding level over these two days as well, please advise prior to arrival so the program can cater for you.
The program will be sent out the week prior so all candidates know when they are riding and when they are teaching.
