Our Jolong Park Rider Education curriculum consists of 5 levels of riding which participants can progress through and obtain certification for the program.  The education programs are aimed at teaching the participants not only how to ride though horse husbandry, understanding how to use an arena, understand the levels of dressage, show jumping as well as how the horse moves as the level progress. Participants will progress through these levels at their own pace or can be assessed by one of the instructors for specific entry level.

1. Show horse warm up including change of rein and change of walk and trop speed maintaining clear rhythm in all gaits
