Summary

Module 5 was a lengthy module. Training and riding horses is complex and there are many factors to consider including tack, training tools, natural and artificial riding aids, and rider influence. Through this module, you had opportunities to analyze, demonstrate, and reflect on each aspect of riding. You have also practiced ways to visualize positive outcomes and set goals for yourself in riding, which is beneficial for both you and your horse.
