Saddlebredluva: Join a horsey 4-H,Pony Club or FFA organization to learn more about riding or judging. Read the Pony Club Horsemanship Manuels- they are great for learning more information. Good luck

I think that’s a great idea! People can learn alot by feeding off of other’s advice and experience.

saddlebredluva: I’m no expert, but here are some ideas for you–
* Learn more about riding. Constantly read articles about training, riding position, etc. Take lessons yourself, if you aren’t already. Think about what you learn and how you learn it. This will not only teach you riding skills, but it will help you develop an effective teaching style, by seeing what works/what doesn’t.
* Do well in school. Take it seriously. Not only will the skills you learn help you greatly, but it will teach you work ethic and control, and good grades help towards many things early in life.
* Get work/volunteer at a stable or barn, especially a lesson barn. Watch lessons when you can, and see how the instructor teaches the students, and how well it works.
* I believe that you can get certified to instruct once you’re 16–also, research rider safety, teaching style, and other relevant topics.
