Riding Instructors: The Pony Has Notes Hats

A riding instructor has a lesson plan; the horse brings its own experience. The UK's National Careers Service lists teaching riders of all ages, developing individual training programmes and helping with competition preparation among the job's duties. US Pony Clubs describes a schoolmaster as a horse with years of training that helps riders learn the feel of movements while working on balance and position. At Triple Moon Equestrian, the lesson herd even appears under the heading Our Equine Professors. These riding instructor hats pick up that teaching partnership with affection. The pony that did not read the lesson plan and the instructor being graded by the pony turn authority into an open question. I NOMINATE MY LESSON HORSE FOR SAINTHOOD echoes the gratitude in rider discussions, including one former instructor's description of lesson horses as saints. HEELS DOWN EYES UP carries the arena voice, while the repeated promise of a last time and the impossible circles give that voice its exasperated punchline. RIDING INSTRUCTOR and HORSE TRAINER anchor the collection, and BEST RIDING INSTRUCTOR EVER carries wording already offered on apparel. The lesson-plan and sainthood designs each have two colorways. Choose one for your own teaching day or an instructor gift, with every line custom embroidered on a dad hat.
