Each May long weekend, Teen Ranch hosts an invaluable clinic that trains and certifies Horseback Riding Instructors. We use this for training and preparation for our own staff, and also certify about 20 others from all over Canada. Each participant is required to teach at least four lessons. They are evaluated by their group members as well as their Clinic Instructors with a huge emphasis on safety, education and fun on horses. This clinic drastically improves teaching ability, even within the five days of the clinic.
While participants aren‘t teaching, they are role playing for other instructors. This allows the instructors to have something to teach, but it also creates an understanding of where those beginner riders are coming from. Having our own riding instructors take part in the CHA Clinic has allowed us to provide well-trained, confident instructors for our guests.
Corrie Ensom is well-recognized as an excellent riding instructor and has taught our intensive program for many years. She is certified as a Master Instructor for CHA.
