Save time with detailed lesson plans for Learning Levels
Use our proven lesson plans as a starting point for your mounted Horsemanship or your unmounted HorseCentered groundwork lessons.
Lesson plans have a suggested breakdown of instructional content presented over the course of an hour, with ideas for games and modifications when teaching private and group lessons.
All plans have a list of required equipment, including notes on setting the arena and pre-lesson preparation. You'll also find additional thoughts and cautionary notes covering scenarios you may face during the course of the lesson.
Lesson plans are tagged with Levels Topics to make it easy to find teaching tools for a particular skill or equine knowledge: e.g. mounted safety, flatwork/arena skills, riding over obstacles, equine behavior, training theory, etc.
Planning HorseSense lessons requires a more flexible approach: see our About HorseSense Teaching Guides page for help with unmounted lessons.
