What does "direct supervision" in MA1 entail?

"Direct supervision" in the context of MA1 refers specifically to the instructor being on-site and actively overseeing the session. This means that the instructor is physically present during the activities, ensuring safety and providing immediate guidance and assistance to both students and equines. This kind of supervision is critical in environments where participants may be inexperienced or where potential risks to safety are present. The instructor’s active involvement allows for real-time correction, support, and facilitation of learning.

The other options describe forms of guidance and oversight, but they lack the immediacy and presence crucial to direct supervision. For instance, being available for consultation implies that the instructor is not necessarily present during the session, and reviewing the session after it concludes or giving feedback through video can provide valuable insights but does not replace the hands-on approach essential in direct supervision.
