Today I learned a lot about what it is like to teach people and what it is like to be an instructor. There were several people that came to have a lesson in the indoor riding ring and the trainer went on to instruct. I listened and observed what was happening and what kind of things were being said. I set jumps and also helped out when needed during the lessons. After that, I once again worked with the young horse and also rode a couple other horses at the barn. I realized how much work goes into one day and that it is a very tiring day. It also didn’t help that the heat index was close to 100. I met some other colleagues and other students that go to the barn and talked with them for a bit. It was another great day and I can’t wait for day four!
