BEA115 - Grit, Toughness and Contemporary Equestrian Coaching

About This Course

BEA 115: Grit, Toughness, and Contemporary Equestrian Coaching is a 2-credit online course. This course will focus on identifying and resolving the education challenges facing young riders and how to critically and creatively substantiate which methodologies serve riders best. Given the historic nature of the sport and its traditions, studying the impacts of regulation on horse shows and points systems, micromarkets, and consumer behaviors will provide context for rider growth. Data and texts from sources in both the equine industry and the broader athletic community will support our study of long-standing and contemporary issues in modernizing education in the equestrian industry.
