If youre saddling up and getting ready for you
first horse riding lessons you may be wondering
what to expect, well here is the
basics.   Handling your reins   When you first
start riding you instructor may ask you to start
of by holding onto the neck strap or front of the
saddle. However, if you do move onto holding the
reins you should make sure that you hold one in
each hand, so that they come up between your
little finger and ring fingers, through the palm
of your hand and out over the top of your index
finger with your thumb pushed gently on the top.
Hold them lightly and relaxed, easy to say for
your first lesson but your hands should feel
light and relaxed.

Walking on   The term walking on is basically
like taking off the brake. To achieve this you
give a little slack on the reins, just enough to
release any pressure on the horses mouth, give a
gentle kick with both legs and the horse will
move slowly away. Try to use the whole length of
your leg and not just the boot, as this will be
more comfortable for the horse.   Turning
  Now you have learnt to start your horse now
its time to turn and move in different
directions. The first thing you should do is look
over to the new direction to check the path is
clear, open you wrist slightly towards your new
direction. Your inside leg should nudge on the
side you intend to go which will tell the horse
your intentions to turn and which way.

The halt   To ask your horse to stop is not very
hard, simply sit up tall on the saddle and pull
slowly on the reins towards you. If the horse
does not respond, just pull a little harder. Keep
you legs on your horses sides at all times as
this will help him to step up with his hind legs
into the halt position.  
Riding a horse is physical
activity and horses are unpredictable animals, so
ensue to have horse riding lessons at an approved
center and have fun.
