Certified Horsemanship Instructor Certification Clinic

This clinic is hosted by the University of Maine Farmington. Instructors of all levels and disciplines are invited to join CHA Certifiers Heidi Potter and Stephanie Keene for this five-day certification course. Certification may be earned in English and/or Western disciplines by successfully completing this course which includes teaching at least four mounted practice lessons, one unmounted practice lesson, a riding evaluation and a written test. The level of certification attained, if any, is at the sole discretion of the CHA Certifiers and is determined by skills and knowledge demonstrated during this five-day course. Participants are evaluated on their ability to teach group riding lessons. Categories of evaluation are Safety, Horsemanship, Teaching Techniques, Group Control and Professionalism. Different levels may be achieved in each seat with and without jumping.
