  1. Horseback Riding Instructor By: Kim Waite Period 7 Kim Waite

  2. Experience Needed • Respectable horseback riding • Patience and tolerance of all students • Noteworthy communication skills to all age groups • Motivation and encouragement skill • First aid skills • If I am self-employed then business skills would be a bonus, but I do not need any particular level of education • If I am not self-employed then a high school diploma or the finishing of my freshman year in college and a clean criminal record is required to be employed https://nextstep.direct.gov.uk/PlanningYourCareer/JobProfiles/JobProfile0458/Pages/default.aspx http://www.horsebackridingjobs.com/northeastern.html

  3. Do I Want to get Serious? ARIA or the American Riding Instructors Association • Through the ARIA I may receive a certificate from the American Riding Instructor Certification Program (ARICP), which will open up many more opportunities • This proves I’m committed, dedicated, and educated • Will provide possible insurance discounts • It’s not a certificate that you buy, it is something you have to earn through evaluation • The ARICP is a national credential • It puts me in a directory to be discovered by students and in a quarterly magazine, Riding Instructor; therefore, improving advertisement http://www.riding-instructor.com/certification/why_certified.php

  4. What Needs to be Known? • I need to be aware of the investments included in the business • May include horses, hay, facilities, tack, etc. • I need to know what money needs to be spent on and when it needs to be spent • When do horses need shod or trimmed, when do you need to buy more hay, etc. • A common knowledge of horses, safety, and correct procedures when around them. • Lesson plans, availability, limitations, and your own experience level • What discipline I want to teach and am capable of teaching Kim Waite

  5. Show me the Money! • $28,000-$42,000 if I work at a camp • The general hourly wage of self-employment runs from $20-$50 • Why does the price vary? • Location • How well I am known • Availability • Disciplines and what I excel in • Advertising • I offer equipment and horses vs. they provide their own http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071022073418AAvzYBE, Equestrian Horseback Riding Instructor – How much do instructors earn?, 2011

  6. What am I Getting Myself Into? • I am expected to know how to ride and handle different situations on horseback • I should know how to answer questions the students may have • The students should benefit and learn from what I have taught them • I need to realize that even domesticated horses are completely unpredictable • I should know how to deal with emergencies involving both students and horses • I am expected to be capable of helping and teaching students of all levels • I should be prepared and aware of what I will be teaching that day • It’s very necessary for me to listen to what the student has to say and know when he/she is or isn’t ready for something Kim Waite

  7. What are the Different Disciplines? • Western • Gymkhana, teampenning/sorting, western pleasure, trail, reining, cutting, freestyle, halter and horsemanship, and etc. • English • Gymkhana, cross-country, steeplechasing, fox hunting, hunter hack, jumping, show jumping (stadium), saddle seat, equitation, dressage, english pleasure, and etc. http://www.equestrianoutreach.com/Equestrian-Outreach-Riding-Style-English-Page.html http://www.westernriding.org/disc.html

  11. Rewards Versus Drawbacks Drawbacks include: • Risking my health and well being because horses are a very unpredictable and dangerous animal • It takes real dedication and I will never stop learning myself because can never know everything there is to know • Everything in the “horse world” is expensive!!!! Rewards include: • Flexibility of the job • I can create my own schedule • There are no programs or specific levels of education required • With good business I will make great money • Watching your students succeed
