As an instructor it takes time to develop a repertoire of exercises to suit all ages and abilities. This book has the answer: it provides a wide range of ideas for lesson plans, with notes on how these can be adapted and developed for different levels of recreational rider, from beginner to advanced, whether children or adults.

The lesson plans are organised into teaching subjects to allow instructors to go straight to a chosen topic and find exercises to suit riders of different abilities, along with teaching tips for a professional delivery.

A wealth of ideas, exercises and plans for group or individual lessons for all abilities, all levels and all ages. Each lesson plan follows a natural progression, gradually building up the difficulty of the exercises as the ability of the pupils increases. The themes include such topics as first lessons, lead-rein lessons, circles, school figures, work without stirrups/reins, transitions, lateral work, using poles, canter work, dressage tests, drill rides and games. Throughout, there are tips on how to deliver the lesson, what to look for in rider faults, and how to help riders to improve and make real progress.
