How long have you been dreaming of horseback riding?

Have you been considering taking horseback riding lessons?

There’s an old saying:

I guess for some, it’s easy to fall into the comfort zone rut of ring riding, but a well-rounded horse and rider, should be able to handle a variety of riding environments. I’ve seen fantastic “show hunters” perform on the buckle in a ring, yet outside of their “training bubble” fall to pieces when presented with the challenge of working in a wide open field alone or with others. I’ve witnessed great hackers, crumble when presented the challenge of true collection and hind quarter engagement in a dressage ring. Have you ever caught yourself asking the following?

“Uh oh, what’s gonna happen when that tractor passes, or that dog runs past us, or that cow in the field next door walks by, or the donkey or miniature from the barn across the way walks past, or heaven forbid…. a horse or pony carriage passes by?”

Are you wondering, like many of these, how to get started with horse riding lessons?

Life’s issues, work, family, etc. may squelch the desire at times but, from what I’ve learned over the years talking to lots of folks, that desire is always there. Many in that 40 – 60 range are now financially able handle horseback riding lessons – but aren’t sure how to start.

Yet some simply can’t afford lessons, let alone keeping their own horse. But they want to learn enough about riding so they can go on a trail ride or go with a friend.

So what’s the secret to getting started?

There are books specifically for the new or first-time rider. The goal is to teach most of the basics at home, before you take formal lessons. It saves you time and money in the process – and when you do go to the stable to start formal lessons you’ll sound like an experienced rider ’cause you know the lingo.

There’s lots of background material, understanding of horses, breeds, gaits, styles, etc. that is good to learn and that will help you get ready for horse riding lessons when you’re ready. There’s no reason to pay someone lots of money to teach you those things when you can learn a whole bunch of it by yourself.

Learn many of the secrets the professional instructors use before you ever put your foot in the stirrup. Imagine – trail riding in the hills, mountains or the beach. Enjoying the thrill of riding, handling your horse and fulfilling that dream.

Act on that DREAM of riding – start soon with horseback riding lessons!  You’ll be glad you did
