From a Rider's Point of View
It is important as a volunteer to understand all the inputs and distractions our riders have when mounted.
This video demonstrates how distracting it can be to have too many inputs, in this case too many voices.
Note, this is NOT a video of an actual class – but it does provide you with a new perspective on how overwhelming too many voices can be to a rider.
Take-Aways – Be sure you choose just 1 person to communicate with the rider and minimize extra conversation during lessons.
