| TRAIL RIDDING Trail ridding is when you ride your horse on a trail, usally through the woods. It can be fun and hard. Here are some tips: *Don't let your horse eat plants. If he does, it will slow down the trail, and mess up your bit. If he attemps to eat plants, give a sharp tug on the reins, and kick him to keep him moving foward. It is ok, if your horse gets a drink out of a river when you are walking through. *When going up steep hills, lean foward. Listen to your instructer; she may tell you otherwise. *Wear bug spray. The bugs are terrible. *If it is cold, dress warmly. *Wear a helmet and riding boots. *If your horse tries to speed up, sit down in your saddle and pull back. *If you'r scared of going over a river, relax! *Keep your horse on the trail, and shout to your instuctor if you have any problems. *Have fun and be a good sport. Follow all trail rules, they're there for a reason! |
