Horses used in riding lessons are a special breed, no matter what their actual horse breed is. They have to be steady in their temperament and in their gaits. They put up with beginner bobbles and mistakes without getting bothered. It's my job as an instructor to match the student and the horse, and to make sure that the student makes progress safely. Sometimes, I may make decisions that may not be what the student wants, but is in the best interest of my lesson horse. Without good lesson horses, and without keeping those lesson horses happy, I don't have a riding lesson program.
Our latest lesson horse acquisition, Juneau, is doing wonderfully. She has taught both child and adult beginners, and was introduced to medieval games the other week. She also goes well for my advanced students.
