I remember I got explained to by an instructor who had a small plastic barrel she got onto to 'demonstrate', which worked really well, but we have no such thing.
I don't mean to be snarky, but don't instructors ride too? Is there any reason s/he can't demonstrate this on a horse? A lot of people (me included) can't learn off a verbal description - I'm visual and have to SEE it before I can do it.



What? So, in the middle of an hour's session where I've paid for the time on the horse and with the instructor, she's going to run off and tack up another horse, if there's even one free, or find someone else to do it, and bring it into the school just to show me for 5 seconds? I wouldn't want her to - it was hard enough to afford lessons as it was as a kid and I don't want her wasting my time/money. There are plenty of other opportunities to watch other people ride.
