We had so much fun and we're already looking forward to the next one πͺ©β¨

Learning Through Play: Why Our Beginner Lessons Look a Little Different
You may have noticed that most of our lessons and groups for our young riders is filled with games, obstacles and adventures!
At Littleriver, we believe that for young riders, fun and games aren't a break from learning. They ARE the learning.
It Starts With Feel
Before a young rider ever really picks up the reins, we're already teaching. We start with the soft aids, how to use your body, how to use your breath, how to communicate clearly with a pony without pulling and kicking. These are the foundations that make a truly good rider, and they're much easier to build when a child is relaxed, happy, and having fun rather than concentrating hard on doing everything "right."
Young children are incredible learners, especially when they don't realize they're learning!

Three ways we use magazines in our unmounted learning:
1. We get our riders to find items off a list to help them with recognizing different things like horse colors, markings, gear, and more.
2. Our riders create goal boards using photos from the magazines. This is a great activity for the start of the year or start of term and it gives us as coaches a little bit more insight into what their goals are.
3. We use them to teach riders how to recognize horse body language. While photos are just a moment in time and for our advanced riders videos are better. This is a simple way to help them start recognizing the basics of body language.
Bonus: they're handy to have so kids can flick through them during breaks and they have heaps of educational learning inside!

It was check-in week for our pony groupers last week!
Halfway through the term, we run a midterm checkpoint to see how learning from the first half of the term is coming together.
This allows us to check
-what riders remember and understand
-what they feel confident doing independently
-what skills or concepts may need revisiting
-how close each rider is to their next certificate
Check-ins are fun and low pressure, giving riders something to work towards at the start of term π
