Hi there....
I am an instructor who has been teaching (hunter/jumper) for just over eight years - but hasn't shown for about ten. (Just not my cup of tea) Many of my students are entering a local show this weekend and have asked me to help them in advance with their "turn out" class.
Basically - they just need some practice with getting their horses to walk next to them and listen to their commands from the ground (while looking good)
Now... my question is - can you use your voice or sounds as an aid when leading your horse in a show?
---and do you have any other general tips for me to offer my students?
Thank you in advance,
Shelley
