<\/a>Methods to measure students\u2019 satisfaction during their riding lessons are fairly well researched, but the horses\u2019 satisfaction in their lessons is also important.<\/p>\n

When a student is getting ready for their riding lesson they could be excited about their lessons.\u00a0 While you may not want your horse to be excited, are they entering the arena pleasantly without napping, snarling their face or swishing their tail?<\/p>\n

Even when a student is concentrating on improving their riding, they should be enjoying themselves.\u00a0 Does your horse understand what you ask and do their best to perform?<\/p>\n

A keen student will want to continue learning even when the lesson is over. \u00a0Do you always stop the lesson before your horse wants to and would they be happy to continue for a while longer if you asked them?<\/p>\n

Happy Riding,<\/p>\n
