This quiz is part of our Rider Medals program. This assessment covers Level 2: Beginner I dismounting skills. It has an accompanying lesson plan to take the guesswork out of teaching this lesson, a worksheet for practice at the end of the lesson, and this quiz to test the rider’s knowledge at a later date.

The worksheet covers:

• You be the instructor – cross out the incorrect actions and write in the correct ones above.
• Put them in order – order the steps for dismounting correctly
• Think about it – reflect critically on:
  • why we dismount the way we do
  • an emergency dismount
  • why an emergency dismount differs from a regular dismount
  • what to do after dismounting and how we should put the horse away when we’re done
