Answer 2

"Horse riding" is something that takes practice although you can essentially learn it from "the book".

"Horsemanship" is something that can only be achieved with years of experience, practice, passion and dedication.

But in the end, you can't ever be good at "horse riding" until you have mastered "horsemanship".

My suggestion is this:

Go to your local riding school or community college and learn the basics of horse handling ("horsemanship") before you even bother to get in the saddle. If you have an idea about the way a horse works, you will find it much easier to ride.

Answer 3

best way is to find a good teacher. If you are just going to pleasure ride as on trails, etc. a horse owner is good. If you want to take it to the next level, find a good instructor. Books help some (help understand the the whys of cues) but even your top Olympic riders have trainers. HAVE FUN!

Answer 4

Hello, You mount from the left side of a horse. You if have no experience should wear a helmet. Once you are in the saddle gather the reins in hands, sit up straight and put your heals down and toes in. Ask the horse with leg pressure to move forward. etc..

Honestly, 2 people got it right on the money, MM- you move like your having sex, and whoever said you can't teach someone how to ride horses on the computer. You need to go to a stable or Equestrian Center someplace where people and horses are, look in the phone book.

Answer 10

Learning how to ride depends on what exactly riding style you are asking about: English, Western, Dressage, Jumping, Speed events (barrels/poles), Reining, bareback, side saddle, horse gymnastics etc.

Each require different levels of balance, leg, hip, and posture placement with the movement of the horse.

The basic of bareback is where I learned how to ride. I was able to build trust in my horse, trust in myself and gain extended balance by depending on my own body than depending on a saddle to keep me on (or hold on to in some cases).

Just like sitting in a chair. Legs together, straight back, arms bent at hip level, with elbows against my sides. My knee's and thighs are pressing up against my horse's side, just behind her heart girth (behind her elbow, almost going towards the middle of her stomach/barrel).

Depending on the horse's que and how the horse is trained all depends on what I will que my horse to do. Some horses are taught to walk forward by "click click" as other horse are taught to walk forward by pressing heals to the side and saying "walk!".

I would allow the reins to be at proper length of 4 inch slack (not tight) with head at level to my elbows.

Depends on how properly trained the horse is depends on how learning to ride will be.

When stoping the horse, say "whoa", press butt down and lean slightly back (1 to 2 "). While doing so, draw the reins at hip level back so the reins is tight (no slack) that will put pressure on the bit to ask the horse to stop.

Some horses will take a few repeatness. Others will stop on a dime.

Backing a horse up is the same thing. Some horses are taught to "click click" while drawing the reins at hip level back (pulling back) slightly (called forward and release, you pull and release, pull and release which takes pressure on and off the bit every other second). Other horses will require abit more "aggressive" approach by pulling back abit harder, but not to the point it hurts the horse. There is a difference. It is all about pressure. Not pain.

Learning how to ride requires lessons and proper trainer to gain information, gain riding style skills and to observe. Learning how to ride on your own is not safe for you, your horse and others around.

Riding is not even 10% of what a horse is about. You also have to know how to saddle, bridle and even in some cases, learn how to catch the four leg'd fast brats in a 5 acre area. lol. You also have to learn vet care incase of injury until a vet can arrive, feeding and how their body works so you know if the riding style is fit for that horse. Some horses do not have the body type nor personality to fit riding style. My mare is strictly barrels and western. My oldest gelding is able to do Western and English. My youngest gelding is able to do Western, English, but nothing fast as he is a slow poke. Different saddles fit different people and different horses. Same with bridles and other tack.

Riding a horse is both fun and hard work at the same time. It can build muscles and make muscles sore that you never knew you had. You will fall off, get kick, get bucked off and even get hospitalized injured. Part of owning a horse as well as the times they are loving, carring and amazing beautiful animals. They should have respect all the time as you would want to be respected.

First of all you need to know how to saddle it, or at least know somebody else that can then if you can figure out how to saddle him/her then riding is the easy part!!!!
