CHOOSING CLOTHES FOR RIDING. Dressing to go horseback riding need not be expensive and appropriate garments are not difficult to find.
LEARNING HOW TO RIDE. You can’t learn to ride from a book. You can learn a lot about riding from reading and refine your techniques, once you have gained some experience. Real life is different from a book. Horses have wills of their own. The unexpected happens. The expected often doesn’t. To learn riding you need: a) lessons, b) experience, and c) some good books to help you understand what’s going on.
SO MANY WAYS TO SHOW A HORSE. Horse shows come in hundreds of stripes. There are local, provincial, regional, and national shows, as well as special youth shows and shows for every conceivable discipline and every breed under the sun.
YOUR FIRST HORSE SUPPLIES. You have waited your whole life for this – horse ownership. Whether you are 14 or 64, it will be an exciting time thinking of everything you will accomplish together, whether that is winning competitions or spending time on your favorite trail. However, even new owners that feel well educated and ready for this purchase often find themselves wondering what supplies they really need to have. It is best to be prepared with a few essential items if you are planning on buying, or have already purchased, your first horse.
