Subject: ? tips for a beginner trainer

Hi! i am a college student and i took a part time job at the barn that i ride at as a coach for very beginners. i have been riding for many years now, but i have no clue as to what to do during the lessons that i give. any suggestions and exercises would be helpful. the children that i teach are 6-10 yrs old and have only been riding for a few months or less. most of them only walk and trot. if anyone has any suggestions on how to use the lunge line too that would be appricated.
thanks :)

I give lessons and a way that I like to work up the kids balance,leg stregnth,and just their courage is to hook them to the lounge line and send them out around me in a circle( obviously lol ) I make them knot the rains and put their hands on top of their head, on their shoulders, or streched out like a bird. I think it helps them understand balance. When they are off the lounge line I like them to learn to keep their back straight so If they dont understand after a few lessons about their back staying straight I will stick a crap down their shirt and w/ the more experienced riders I will freez it first. The girl I tried that crop on had a fit but sure kept her back straight! anything else I could help w/ just ask!

what are some good exercises for a beginner rider like me? besides ones that you have to on a horse. i'm taking lessons weekly and i still can't get my feet into the stirrups on the 15.2h gleding i'm riding. exercises that strengthen your legs and seat is what i'm looking for also maybe some posting exercises i have a big pilates ball that i do practice on but i'm looking for other excersices!! please email:) Thanks :) :D :P
