Don’t let your questions go unanswered; one of the advantages of online courses is that your instructor can work with you one-on-one to be sure you understand the information being presented. Some courses do not require you to work with a horse, but after reading some of the lesson, it is a good idea to go out and observe a horse or horses and practice the techniques you are learning—if that is possible. Try to see the things being discussed, and how they work. Observation is one of the greatest keys to success whether training, trading, feeding, or examining for general health. Look and work with your horse and look at other horses—but when watching them perform, see more than the surface—see the movements, see the personality, see the strengths and weaknesses of each individual. And then try to apply some of the things you have just been reading to the horse with which you are working. This is the best way to reinforce your understanding and assure your success. Your instructor will grade your quiz and send an e-mail to you with comments and suggestions. You will not receive the link for the next lesson until your instructor is satisfied you have mastered the preceding lesson. When you receive your next lesson link, study that lesson just as you have the preceding lesson. You are working toward a greater understanding. This is not an easy program just because it is online.
