How to start Horse Riding
1. Take riding lessons from a qualified teacher. Start with
barn chores at a quality stable first, if there is one nearby, to become
familiar with horses and to get used to being around them. Many stables are
happy to have a volunteer. In return they might let you ride their horses, and
you will become acquainted with the horses, their temperaments, and body
language.
2. A good instructor or coach can make all the difference
Follow the instructor's guidance, and learn about all aspects of horsemanship,
from putting tack on the horse, to cleaning and storing the tack when the ride
is over.
3. Learn to properly
groom the horse. This is important both in "bonding" with a horse, if
you are fortunate enough to ride the same one regularly, and also gives you a
chance to look the horse over for problems or injuries before and after a ride.
4. Feed and water the
horse if you have opportunity, once again cementing a bond with the animal,
earning its trust, and learning to trust it, as well. Many people are
surprised, when they find themselves "up close, and personal," with a
horse; with how large and powerful they truly are.
5. Learn the steps involved for a beginning rider. Actual
horseback riding involves more than "hopping up" on the horse's back
and galloping off into the sunset. The following is a checklist for preparing
for a ride.
Bring your tack out of the tack room, check it over to make
sure it is clean and in good shape, with no holes or tears in the leather. Set
it down, preferably on a rail, saddle rack, or stand. Ensure that it is out of
the way of other riders.
Catch or call your horse, and put on the halter. This is the
leather or nylon harness that goes over the horse's head, and you will want to
strap it tightly enough so it doesn't slip, but not tight enough to be
uncomfortable for the horse. Ensure that it is completely on the horse's head;
many an escaped horse could have been avoided had they simply ensured that the
halter was on completely.
These Are the first steps you can takes to start horse
riding.
