This document discusses how e-learning can help horse trainers connect with busy clients who keep their horses at home for recreation. It notes that over 60% of American horse owners use their horses for recreation according to a survey. E-learning is presented as a good way to help these clients, who tend to be women over 40 with day jobs and families, continue learning between lessons. The document suggests that e-learning can help address challenges like clients forgetting exercises or not practicing at home. It defines e-learning as using technology like computers and phones to provide education. It then provides examples of simple e-learning materials a trainer could create themselves like an informative article, instructional graphic, or short video tip to share with clients

Problems does Your
Training/Lesson
Business Face?

7. Do you get frustrated when...
Clients send a horse for 30-90 days of training, then you never
hear from them again, or worse, hear back that they continue to
have the same problems with their horse?
Clients cancel lessons when the weather isn't 70 degrees and
sunny?
Clients forget the drills and exercises that you teach them in
lessons, or don't practice them with their horse in between
lessons?
Clients don't seem motivated to work with their horse at home,
and you just know that they could have a better relationship with,
and enjoy their horse more, if they could just master a few skills?

8. What would it be like if your clients
could have access to your horse
training program through basic
instructional videos, articles, riding
plans and tip sheets in-between their

TIP
HERE ARE THREE
E-LEARNING MATERIALS
YOU CAN CREATE
INSTRUCTIONAL
GRAPHIC
INFORMATIVE
ARTICLE

15. Informative Article
One of the simplest e-learning materials that you
can create is an informational article. Informational
articles build trust and credibility in your abilities
as a trainer/instructor. Pick a subject that you feel
you often address with your clients, or pick your
favorite topic-something that is easy for you to
write about.
Sharing the article is simple-post it as a note on
you Facebook page. Write it up and email it to
your clients. If you have a blog or website, share
the article there.
EMAIL ARTICLE, BLOG, FACEBOOK POST
Bonus Tip-add a relevant photo to your article, and share it on your Facebook Page!

16. Instructional Graphic
Do you have a favorite training drill, or practice
pattern that you teach your horses/students? When
you ask if they practice it in between lessons, do your
clients say they don’t? Then creating a diagram of
your favorite drill or pattern for them to save to their
smart phone is another easy e-learning material that
you can offer your clients.
If you are not handy with computers, get out a pen
and paper and hand draw it, then take a picture of it
with your smart phone and text it to your clients, or
post it to your Facebook page.
INFOGRAPHIC, DIAGRAM, CHARTS
Bonus Tip-make a collection of practice patterns in an album on your Facebook page.

17. Video Tip
Record a short video tip with your smart phone and upload it directly to
YouTube or your Facebook page from your phone. It can be something as
simple as a tip sharing the importance of cooling out your horse, or a tip
about why you use a certain piece of tack. If you have a helper, have them
run the camera while you demonstrate a training drill or pattern. Otherwise
just face the camera towards you and start talking!
INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS, WEBINARS, INTERVIEWS, BUSINESS HISTORY
Bonus Tip-videos are
preferred content on
Facebook, so posting your
video on your Facebook
page will increase the
reach, or number of
people who see your page.
