Be Part of a Different Future for Children's Horsemanship

Our Instructor Training is a professional training programme for individuals who would love to join our team of instructors. Application to the programme does not depend on prior experience. Instead, we are looking for passionate and committed individuals with a vision for taking Think Like a Pony to a wider audience. We are looking for people with a strong sense of integrity, who are looking for a career focussed on education and empowering the next generation.

The Training Process

Training Elements


On the Ground


Developing horsemanship skills on the ground to a professional level of teaching and training. This will equip the trainee with the skills needed to teach groundwork skills to children or adults.


In the Saddle


Developing balance and harmony in the saddle and developing a strong foundation level of riding. This element will equip the trainee to teach balanced and empathetic riding that takes horsemanship from the ground to the saddle.


Online


Developing theoretical horsemanship knowledge and practising horsemanship and teaching skills through the Think Like a Pony Club. This element takes the trainee through each badge on the Club website and associated instructor training videos. Trainees are required to submit videos of their horsemanship skills for assessment through our online platform.

A Life-Changing Training Programme

Think Like A Pony Instructor Sophie Hildreth said:

"Becoming a Think Like a Pony Instructor has not just given me the tools, skills, confidence and self-belief to make tremendous improvements to my own horsemanship and teaching, but has also had a huge positive impact on my everyday life for which I will be forever grateful.

With the continuing professional and personal support from Lynn and the Think Like a Pony team I am now living out my dream as a horsemanship professional, inspiring young people through the Think Like a Pony approach!"
