Workshops are conducted by a CHA certified clinician and are based on the format of the Standard Instructor Certification Clinic. The emphasis of the workshop is on safe and effective instruction and includes practice teaching, skill lessons, written and oral evaluations, and presentations on risk management and teaching techniques. Certification is not offered in the Training Workshops, but participants receive a certificate of completion and CHA membership. Contact the CHA office for information on hosting a Training Workshop. Complete Student Curriculum Back to Top Curriculum includes four horsemanship levels for English and Western students, complete with a student manual for each level, written and riding tests for each level and discipline, skill check-off cards, certificates and awards.
Manuals are available in each level, or as a composite manual which includes all four levels.
Curriculum materials are available to everyone, but only CHA certified instructors may issue student certificates and pins.
