Planning a Practice in the Equestrian Environment

• Instructor/Coaches are familiarized with the logistics of Lesson Planning and Emergency Action Plans (EAP).
• Participants work cooperatively in group settings to identify an athlete’s physical maturity, plan an activity to develop a basic skill then adapt the activity to make it fun, motivating and challenging.
• Templates and Lesson Plan HELP sheets are provided to assist the participant in Lesson Planning and EAP development for the Evaluation.
• This module applies to all lesson planning.

Analyzing Performance in the Equestrian Environment
