I made it through day 1 of 5 of the CHA Riding Instructor Certification! Passed the written test and made it through my evaluation ride with minimal incidents (let's just say my selected horse and I had a disagreement on how to ride the right lead canter...) Tomorrow is going to be a long day of teaching and riding #:-S Can it be Friday already? :|

You've got this! Good luck! Hope your next catch ride is more cooperative!

Wtg! And just remember, take a deep breath and try and let that frustration slip away. If you relax and concentrate, you should pass with your sanity hopefully intact

Awesome! Good luck! You'll do great

Great start! Keep calm and keep up the good work.

You can do this!

Thanks everybody! I just finished day two and I taught a 15 minute level 1 mock lesson on trotting circles as well as a 15 minute level 3 unmounted lesson on care of equipment/equipment management :) I felt pretty good about both and got some good feedback. Tomorrow we have our mid-clinic evaluations so I'm nervous to see what the evaluators say. Tomorrow I teach a 15 level 2 mock lesson on the 1st canter so crossing my fingers it goes well!

Congrats

Tomorrow is the last day! It looks like I will pass as a level 2 instructor (which is ok but I would have preferred level 3). I am dead exhausted from this week. Then first thing Saturday morning, my dad is driving me and all my stuff back home to Michigan for good! Goodbye Ohio (finally :P )

Well done! I hope this last day is going well for you.

I hope your last day went well! Safe travels from Ohio! I actually live by Columbus :)

AHayesHorses · May 19, 2017 6:13 PM

Thanks :) It did go well. I didn't certify at level I was expecting so I'm kinda bummed out but at least I'm certified, so it's a start

SandycreekFarm · May 19, 2017 6:23 PM

Congratulations on passing even if you didn't hit as high a level as you wanted to. Perhaps, after you've gotten some experience and perhaps some more riding training as well, you can try again.

AHayesHorses · May 19, 2017 7:29 PM

Thanks, I am definitely planning on that :)

Cheers · May 19, 2017 7:32 PM

Glad you passed hon! And as Sandy said, with a little more experience I'm sure you can move up a level. Drive safe tomorrow.
