What is the minimum requirement for instructor supervision during mounted sessions?

The minimum requirement for instructor supervision during mounted sessions is that the instructor must be on-site and monitoring. This ensures that there is direct oversight during the session, which is critical for the safety and well-being of the participants and the horses involved. On-site supervision allows the instructor to provide immediate feedback, intervene if necessary, and evaluate the environment in real-time. This level of presence enhances the learning experience and helps maintain safety protocols that are vital in mounted activities.

In contrast, options suggesting that the instructor could be in another room, supervise remotely, or only evaluate the session after it do not allow for proactive management of any issues that may arise during the session. Effective supervision necessitates the instructor being physically present to engage with participants, address any challenges that occur, and ensure the highest standards of safety and instruction are maintained.
