Your replay! Jumping Instructors Webinar Jan 2017

Here it is! The replay of the Jumping Instructors Webinar #2. It was a challenge as we had technical difficulties first from the webinar itself then the sound. We had lots of fun and shared so much great information. In "From the Judges Box" we discussed the importance of teaching your riders how to do a courtesy circle. We also give you tips on how to do that. In "Teaching Techniques" We focused on "active learning" and how important it is for us to communicate what is happening with our students by asking questions. We show you how that process works! Finally, in Horse Business #101 We discuss marketing with social media. No website? No problem. Use your business page instead! Our Hosts were Paddy Downing-Nyegard and Randi Thompson. Our Moderator was Laura Kelland-May

NEW Jumping Instructors Webinar. Wednesday, Jan 25th!

Topics include: "From the Judges Box. It’s all about the Courtesy Circles” The Courtesy Circles are more important than most to the judge than most of the riders who are competing know. How do you teach your riders how to properly ride the courtesy circles for the hunter and equitation rings? What can you do so that your students can show off what they able to do with their horses?

"Teaching Techniques. Communication with Your Students"
It’s all about how we are communicating to our students. Have you heard of the Socratic technique for sharing information? Now you can discover how asking and answering questions will create a “thinking rider.” Asking the right questions will make a difference in everything you are doing to keep your students safe and to take you to the next level as a professional jumping instructor. Wait until you hear what we have to share about why communicating in this manner is so important to what you are doing as a jumping instructor.

"Horse Business 101"

Already, the response to the Jumping Instructor Webinar has been great!  Over 130 people have registered and we have started the Jumping Instructors Facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/jumpinginstructors)   We are looking forward to connecting more with everyone soon”

States Downing-Nygard “As a USDF "R" judge and instructor/trainer I have seen what happens in the horse business. I have watched professionals who have a hard time figuring out where they fit in the equine world.  I know that there are many topics I can add my knowledge and have teamed up with Randi Thompson to create the Jumping Instructor Programs.  It is a venue where we will be able to all learn from each other, join us.  

Topics include: 

"From the Judges Box"

Are you coaching riders who are competing over fences?  Now you can ask the judges what they are really seeing and what you need to know to win more blue ribbons.

"Teaching Rein Connection"

How should the rider hold the reins and where do they need to be positioned when going over the fences or on the flat?  Watch as Paddy and Randi demonstrate teaching techniques that you can use right away!   We will also talk about Pelham bits, what makes them different and what you need to know about how to use them.

"Horse Business 101"

Equine Liability Statues.  How do they affect your horse business?  If you think the Equine Statutes protect you from everything, you, like many other professional horse people, are wrong!   What steps do you need to take to protect your horse business legally?
