How To Ride A Horse(:T h i s I s A w e s o m e ! ! ! !

First You Need Your Catch

Your Horse Catching your horse may be the hardest part. Slowly walk up to him/her and either grab the

halter and attach the lead rope or put the lead rope around it’s neck.

When you’ve got that done it is time to saddle the horse up.

Put the bridle and the reins on the horse. Once the horse is saddled it is time to mount

him/her.

Make Sure You Are Able To Ride

Comfortably. Once you are in the saddle you need to check

your stirrups. If they are not correct you need to either raise

them up or lower them down to where your legs rest comfortably.

If the saddle is not on right you will feel like you are leaning sideways you will need to fix that to where you feel like you are upright.

Once this is done it is time to get started!

Time To Ride!!(:

Nudge your horse with your heel to get it moving. Hold the reins loosely. Keep a good grip on them though. Keep your body relaxed but pay attention to what's going

on around you.

When On The

Horse…. Keep your body relaxed but pay attention to

what's going on around you. Know who and what is around you. As the horse moves you should be moving with

it. Stay with the rhythm of the horse.

Then Finally Slowing Your Day Down To An End..

Gently pull back the reins. Ease your horse to a stop. Tie your horse up. Get off the horse undo the saddle and bridle. Put the saddle and bridle up. Then put your horse up. Finally make sure the horse has plenty of water.

You May Be…. You may be sore if this is your first time riding. Your legs may feel funny. But in time you will get used to the feeling!!
