  • We have a number or excellent resources people have shared with the HM site to support goo UnMounted teaching. We have a lot of holes in the UnMounted Lesson plans. If you are an UL member, a graduate Pony Clubber, a dedicated Pony Club volunteer, or simply a good teacher, please share your lesson plans with us. Submissions can be sent to the HM Committee. Thank you to all who have shared your hard work so that teaching can be easier for those coming up behind you!
