I was writing a note to an instructor across the street who is an R rated judge and a course designer, I think for the hunter Jumper world. My fun has been eventing. I attended fully two Instructor Certification Programs from the United States Eventing Association. One as a rider, auditor one time as in instructor candidate. When I began teaching my jumping demonstration lesson, the rider asked about lead changes. I immediately got distracted to something I has just learned by some Monte Foreman people and tried to see how I could integrate it into the lesson. Silly me. In a sample 15 minute lesson, how can an instructor impart more than a tool to accomplish such a complicated move. Let alone, to impart that tool from a different discipline. I was with Brian Sabo, who was super supportive and basically told me what I just said.
\nThe purpose of the icp was to teach us how to pass the icp certification test.
\nWhen I was young, I was a musician\/singer songwriter\/ band leader. I never had stage fright. I love performing. In this situation, I felt like the odd duck. I have always leaned toward the natural methods since the 80’s when I first saw John Lyons with his stallion Zip in Sunol. Of course, having a degree in Psychology or more importantly, having studied learning theory and experimental design, what I saw was classical conditioning and operatant conditioning and bridge learning theory and associative learning theory. And, he, John Lyons was very, very skilled. Since that time I have always used by background and have continued to study equine learning theory as a science.
\nMany traditional disciplines do incorporate this, but with different terms or just by usage without really understanding the “why”.
\nI don’t know why this becomes important tome in the moment other than when we put ourselves up for display, like taking a lesson, like a horse learning something new. We never know how the teacher is going to react to us. It takes a leap of faith, it takes a “try”. And lucky that I am human, when my “try” doesn’t feel good enough, I get to change my path. A horse whose “try” isn’t good enough gets punished. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
