Rookie Riders - Saskatchewan Horse Federation

_{SHF is bringing the Rookie Riders Program to Saskatchewan. Rookie Riders is a}_{fun and comprehensive program which teaches children (ages 6-12) activities and skills that are fundamental to success in horseback riding.

In March of 2020 the SHF hosted the first Rookie Riders Instructor/Coach training for the full program including the equine portion to NCCP/EC Certified Instructors/Coaches. This training will enable these Certified Instructors/Coaches to deliver the Rookie Riders program at their facility. Watch for an upcoming feature article with a couple of the newly trained Rookie Riders Instructors/Coaches.}

The Rookie Riders program teaches activities and skills that are fundamental to success in horseback riding. It includes basic gymnastics on mats, on a “barrel horse” and concludes with an introduction to riding. It is a core skill building program that benefits all disciplines. It is also a safe opportunity to introduce the sport to children we hope will become passionate and continue to progress in the sport. This program is a great progression into the EC Learn to Ride/Drive Program or into a Vaulting Program. This program is for EC/NCCP certified instructors/coaches. If you are also a working student under the supervision of an EC/NCCP coach or a physical education teacher you may take the barrel only training.Contact [email protected] to register.
