I really enjoyed the Introductory Riding course. The webinars were well-paced and easy to follow, even for someone who's just starting. Leanne was very knowledgeable and made each session engaging. I found the printable shownotes to be a great asset, especially when I needed to revisit certain topics. The quiz was a helpful tool to confirm my understanding and solidify what I’d learned. My only suggestion would be to include more video examples, but overall, it's a fantastic course that covers all the basics of riding.
