"Remote" Mentoring & Supervised Teaching Hours

What are they? How do they work?

Record your lessons from the comfort of your home arena using a smart phone or video camera. Upload lessons to YouTube, google drive, or a similar ‘sharing’ platform for review. This is a great change to also do a self-evaluation and compare it to professional feedback.

We send you a detailed email with instructions and tips on recording with AND without a camera person. 

We meet using Zoom for a one-on-one, custom video call where we go over your submitted lesson or ride in real time together. We can pause and talk about moments that were great or delve into what, why, and how to refine certain aspects of the lesson.

Receive detailed feedback that summarizes our Zoom meting(s) and give you customized “challenges” to help you focus your efforts on key areas to develop and refine as an instructor as well as practical tips and applications to help you be the most prepared you can be for certification!

Have a question that comes to mind after our meetings? No worries! Saebra is just a call, text, or email away!

Testimonials

I absolutely loved working with Saebra even if it was remote.Sabra played a huge part in helping me and my students progress together. I loved the insights and experience she brought to the table to help me build up my own tool box. She was so understanding and flexible with everything that was recorded. She prepared me so much for the testing process, reducing a lot of my fears and I passed everything right off the bat. Beyond that she has prepared me for continued growth with my students and my center. Thanks so much Saebra!!

I found Saebra and Hoof Falls & Foot Falls through a PATH Center Certified Instructor and have been grateful ever since. From the moment of our first correspondence through the certification process she maintained the highest degree of professionalism and knowledge which became fundamental to me in reaching my goal of becoming a Certified PATH Therapeutic Riding Instructor.
Thomas G.

Mentoring with Saebra was a fantastic experience and she completely prepared me for the journey of becoming a PATH Registered Level Therapeutic Riding Instructor. Over my mentorship, Saebra spent many hours guiding me though the administrative process, supervising my teaching hours and helping me grow as an instructor, and in progressing my own personal horsemanship and riding skills. I am very thankful to have mentored under Saebra. She did a wonderful job preparing me for my certification as a PATH instructor. I would highly recommend her as an instructor, a mentor, or for anymore looking to becoming more involved in PATH.

I was fortunate enough to have Saebra as my mentor for the PATH Therapeutic Riding Instructor certification. She wasn't an easy mentor, however, I feel she prepared me FULLY for the certification process. When she provided needed constructive criticism, she gave examples, and reasons for her points and explained everything. She was very patient and always willing to answer questions or help me through brain blocks.
