Do you enjoy riding horses? Here's how to get the most out of your next ride.
[edit] Steps
- Tell yourself that you are a good rider to boost your confidence.
- Make sure you are prepared.
- Have the right equipment.
- Wear a helmet.
- Never ride unsupervised.
- Know how to tack your horse.
- If your horse behaves well, praise them.
[edit] Tips
- Don't come without proper riding gear! A helmet and boots are neccestity! Things like spurs and breeches are optional.
- If you are under 18 years of age, make sure there is an adult riding with you.
- If your horse is doing what you ask, praise them by saying things like "Good boy/girl!","That's it." and " Come on. You can do it."
[edit] Warnings
- Ride at your own risk. If you are injured, this is not to be blamed on the owner of the horse or the instructor.
- Do not get on a horse and expect to know how to ride them. It takes hard work to learn how to control a horse.
