Level 1 Youth Horsemanship For WBH Students - RED

The Red Level is the first unmounted level for students with little or no experience working around and with horses. This guide will take you through each of the required objectives for Red Level HorseSense, explaining them in further detail, as well as offering helpful hints and activities for accelerating your progress. Whether you have just taken your first lesson or have spent years around horses, we hope you find this guide to be informative and helpful as you journey towards becoming a well-rounded horseperson. Please remember that this guide is meant to be a supplement to regular lessons, and not as a replacement. The activities mentioned in this guide should be practiced only under the supervision of an instructor or another knowledgeable adult. Each Horse Sense Level should be used in conjunction with the corresponding color Horsemanship Level study guide. The Horsemanship Levels concentrate on the rider’s ability in the saddle, culminating in a rider who is balanced, educated and confident and can ride a schooled horse with skill and tact on the flat, over fences and in the open. The HorseSense Levels focus on the extensive body of knowledge needed to care for and work with horses successfully, testing students on horse handling, veterinary and stable management skills.
