Riding Instructor

From HelpWiki

If you decide to upgrade your account on the english register you can become a riding instructor. Each horse on WOS has one of several different personalities. Your horse's personality affects how you should ride it in a show. As a riding instructor you can use your keen eye to watch another member ride their horse. Then once they're done you can give them tips about what they're doing right and wrong. With enough lessons you'll have your horse figured out in no time.

The benefits of a riding instructor is that you can learn how your horse likes to be ridden fairly quickly. The downside is that it can be pretty expensive depending upon the instructor you hire to help you. As an upgraded member being a riding instructor is a great way to earn some extra cash and make new friends.

A trainer is also called an instructor, and gives lessons to other players. Players request a lesson from the stable owner's main page, chooses the horse and event the horse is in, and uses the rider settings for that horse. A GM must be sent to the stable owner, or the lesson will not take place. Once the stable owner knows about the lesson, the lesson can be run. When the lesson is run, the stable owner gets a lesson message somewhat like this: "This member is riding this horse in pleasure. Their arms look good but could be better. Their legs are only okay. They need to change something. This member is properly using their crop. Their posting a little too much or they need to post a little more. The horse is pulling slightly at the reins the way they are now and are slightly annoyed with the bit in their mouth. They need to slightly slow down or speed up and they really need to change their gait."  This lets the player who requested the lesson know what needs to be changed in the way the horse is shown. When the message is sent to the player who requested the lesson, the lesson fee is taken, and the horse's health will have gone down.
