INSIDE YOU WILL FIND…
… a collection of all the best activities and games articles from the blog LessonsInTR.com, since its start in 2012 through March of 2017! 109 posts total. Most include illustrations, and many have lesson plans. Printed in black and white. (Note: this book is JUST activities! It does not include information about how to get certified, lesson plan, or instruct specific disabilities – those are for future books!)
… a *NEW* article on warmups, found only in this book! This section combines all the warmup posts on the blog, plus some new ideas, categorized by body area (head, arms, hips, etc.), and complete with descriptions and benefits.
… everything organized in the order of a lesson plan! As opposed to chronologically, this makes finding what you need for lesson planning much easier! See the images below for the detailed table of contents.

Warmups
Skills List
Figures
Drill Team

THIS IS THE BOOK I WISH I’D HAD WHEN I FIRST STARTED INSTRUCTING!
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the EQUUS Foundation’s program PATH CTRI Grants for maintaining therapeutic horseback riding instructor certification ($4 per book). Instead of paying each contributor, I’m paying it forward!
