Safe Horseman:

Is it a problem that most beginners are taught by the least experienced instructors?

What is being taught to beginners? THE BASICS - and what do most advanced instructors make students do over? THE BASICS ... Suppose a beginner falls off? Stuff happens, beginners fall. It's part of the process. Suppose the beginner is seriously injured.? Suppose in deposition the beginner's - now plaintiff's - expert witness testifies that your instructor should have seen (name the balance problem of your choice) and taken such and such steps as any experienced instructor would have taken to avoid the injury-causing accident? Roughly 80% of horse related accidents result from falls from horses.

Is it a problem that most beginners are taught by inexperienced, untrained instructors?
