My first riding instructor was a drill sargant and demonstrator. She was harsh at times and made some girls cry, but boy did she teach us to ride! She gave me a lot of confidence and decades later I can still hear her voice yelling at me to bend my elbows and no belly dancing!

@SeaWasp2 жыл бұрын
Least the sergeant will tell you what you need, right away. A couple of my instructors are almost that direct and can spot what's going on, given the particular horse. I repeated a couple of poles multiple times because my posture went wonky, just before we got to them and my horse responded by going hilariously flexy, weeble wobbly, and squirrely all at once haha. Even more unreal, least for me, my instructors spotted it before it happened. I want to work with that specific horse again, just to solidify my posture. He's got a butter smooth canter which is so nice, though, too. Man... would love to get good footwork solidified with that one.

I am definitely a combination of the optimist, the demonstrator, and the talker. I think it's as important to point out what the rider is doing well already as what to improve. Positive feedback gives you an immediate little boost of happiness and that almost always leads to a more relaxed seat and thus a more content rider AND horse. It's an all-around win-win. I also don't like to give isolated commands but I always explain WHY and what effect it has on the horse, and sometimes that takes a lot of time. I often talk non-stop 😅 And when all the talking isn't enough, you just gotta demonstrate

She's also kind of an optimist as well. They aren't like the pessimist at all though, very nice. They don't really have me exercise before the lesson, but the assistant helps me work out my legs while in the saddle. So I kind of have all of them.

Why do I feel like you have personally experienced all these kinds of instructors, as a student? 😁I have been unfortunate enough to have every single instructor (except one) be a merciless critic. I can tell you, it doesn't do much for one's confidence! There is a big difference between an instructor ("I want you to do exactly as I instruct and nothing else, and you must do it correctly the first time") and a teacher! ("I will teach you how to do the thing, no matter how many tries it takes, and I will do it patiently")
