5 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

June 10, 2019

New to horse riding? Well don't be afraid, we all started somewhere! To get you ready though, you'll need to know these five tips. 
1. Wear proper horse riding gear. You don't have to go excessively expensive but wearing clothes that are right for the occasion will help rather than hinder your abilities. 
2. Greet your horse. Your horse is a living creature and has a mind of it's own. So show your respect and it will respect you back. 
3. Don't be afraid. Your horse will sense if you are afraid and won't necessarily do as you ask of it if you don't show confidence. 
4. Don't slouch, use your backbone. If you sit slouched you won't have as much control.
5. Be gentle with the reins. The reins lead to the horses mouth and you wouldn't want to hurt them or lose their trust.
