Horseback Riding Tip: Keep your Cool!

One of the best horseback riding tips is: Always keep your cool. If you lose control of yourself, have no doubt you will lose control of your horse. A horse can sense if the rider is scared. Even if you are scared (most beginning riders are) and you have no idea how you'll ever stay on the horse, you cannot think that around your horse. You need to stay calm & relaxed (Hint: Fake it till you make it!) If you get a little scared, take a few deep breaths so that you can slow your heartbeat and relax yourself. Odds are, if you think you're in control, so will the horse. Here's some more horseback riding tips that will save you tons of time!

Horseback Riding Tips - When Training, Patience is Key 

If you have ever had the pleasure of riding a well-trained horse, you know that joy.

A horse though, is not trained in a day. It takes time, patience and consistency. When you are attempting to train a horse, allow your patience to overcome the horse's persistence. If you are patient, you will win the battle every time. If you lose your patience, you have lost and will get nowhere. Getting angry or frustrated will only compound your problems. Anger has no place in horse training or handling. Yelling, hitting, or kicking will only teach your horse to fear you.
There's no replacement or substitution for patience. Sorry, there's just no way around it. If you're looking for a shortcut, well you're just setting yourself up for failure down the road. A horse, just like a human needs some repetition to learn. And, as all people, some horses need more repetition than others.

Sara, Good suggestions, I have always been amazed at the responses from horses when they sense the rider is insecure. Also I love to see a rider on a horse that really is sensitive to the needs of the rider. I truly believe horses get a good sense of us before we even mount them. Keep up the good advice. www.4trailtips.com
