Introduction to Coaching/Certification

Instructor
English Instructors – Jump introduce new equestrians to the sport. Working with non-competitive (recreational) riders from beginner to active-for-life students, these coaches help introduce and develop foundational equestrian skills.
Instructors hold one of the most important roles in equestrian sport—building the foundation skills that empower equestrians to enjoy equestrian sport at the level they choose for the rest of their lives!
Instructors use programs like P’Tit Trot, Rookie Riders, and Learn to Ride to complement student development.
This training pathway will help prepare you for your Instructor – English – Jump evaluation for Certification.
