Give her a reading list! Make up a list of books that you think she would benefit from reading, and make sure you've read them too. That way you can discuss some of the book at each riding lesson, and perhaps incorporate some of the topics covered?
Horsey "homework"
Hello!
Hopefully all who are reading this are bored with too much time on thier hands
I have a student who is very serious about learning everything she can about horses. She comes out for 2 -3 lessons a week and asked me If I could start giving her homework. I thought that was a neat idea, but I just don't have the time or the patience to make worksheet after worksheet of homework for her! I've looked online but I cant find any good websites like this... anyone know of any? Or if you would like to be creative and make some homework be my guest! She is a beginner rider but is catching on quickly, She is learning hunter/jumper. : ) Thanks so much!

ask her questions, have her study an anatomy chart, then fill out a blank one by memory to see if she can.(where the hock,fetlock,dock,upper jaw,coronet band,etc.) and teach her about conformation, like give her pictures of horses and teach her how to tell what cow hocks, swaybacks, and straight shoulders,etc are for a start. Also a book list sounds good.
this is one 4-h manual I found. you can see many of them online so that you can study them without purchasing them. Many show some confimation and basic anatomy, so that could be interesting homework. It was the kind of thing I did when I wanted to start learning more. Good luck
