Themed Lesson Plans – Melissa Troup

A wealth of ideas, exercises and plans for group or individual lessons for all abilities, all levels and all ages. Each lesson plan follows a natural progression, gradually building up the difficulty of the exercises as the ability of the pupils increases. The themes include such topics as first lessons, lead-rein lessons, circles, school figures, work without stirrups/reins, transitions, lateral work, using poles, canter work, dressage tests, drill rides and games. Throughout, there are tips on how to deliver the lesson, what to look for in rider faults, and how to help riders to improve and make real progress.
