Horse riding is a sport that has been practiced by people for centuries. It is a wonderful sport to enjoy at any age and is especially enjoyable for children. You can learn to ride at any age, and it is much easier than most people believe.
Get the right horse.
You need to find a horse that is the right size for you and well trained. It is a good idea to talk to a horse trainer or someone who has been riding for a long time about the type of horse that will be the best for you.
If you are a beginner, you are going to want to find a horse that is very calm and willing to learn. You need to be sure the horse is well trained before you try to ride it.
It is also a good idea to have an experienced person with you the first few times you ride. This person can help you learn the basics of horse riding.
Wear the right type of clothing.
You should wear a riding helmet and boots. You will also want to wear long pants that are tucked into your boots. This will help protect your legs in case you fall off the horse.
You should find a long-sleeved shirt to wear as well. This will protect you from the sun, and it will also keep you warm. If you are riding at night, you will need to wear reflective clothing.
