Overview

If you compete against others, you can become bitter, but if you compete with yourself, you become better. This book is not just about blue ribbons but creating a winning attitude in kids too! Tally Up was designed for youth riding instructors, 4-H horse leaders, parents, therapeutic riding instructors and those who teach equine skills in the areas of Showmanship and Horsemanship. It is comprised of ready made forms that you cut out and use for evaluating horse show performance in a practical and non-judgemental way. The forms you score for your riders are helpful to organize and communicate lesson planning and to measure progress when you practice at home. Cut out pages of a book? YES! That is the design for this practical work. 55 scoring forms are included for your personal use! The ultimate goal of Tally Up is to empower kids to understand the steps of success and develop the life skill of becoming competitve with themselves as they strive towards excellence and earning their blue ribbons! BONUS: Are you a therapeutic riding instructor? What method do you use to decide whether a rider should have one side-walker or two? OR when they are ready to ride without a leader?
