Does anyone here teach riding lessons? I'm doing lessons for some young girls 6-10 yrs old, they are beginners and while they need to learn I also want to make it fun. Anyone have ideas?

Location: Louisiana		When I was a kid, my favorite part of riding lessons was the very end when my instructor would clip on the lead line and lunge my horse while I rode with no stirrups and held my arms out.  This greatly healped my balance and was fun.  She started at a trot and soon enough I was trotting and loping with no stirrups or reins.
I also liked doing figure eights and learning lead changes.  I'm thankful my mom brought me to someone that could teach me how to RIDE.  It was a 16 year old girl, but she was awesome.  She taught me all the basics before I ever owned a real barrel horse.
You could set up cones to weave through.  Obstacle courses are fun.  I always enjoyed getting to catch and brush the horse when we got to the barn, too.  She put the saddle on because I was too little, but I learned about all the parts of a saddle. 
And I think I usually got to request one activity for the day.  So I would look forward to that.
