(Nine common sense rules to insure a pleasant ride)


When I purchase group to run a trace after our return of barn please inquire for driving success? my answer is always, “routine figure that was nice.”


I don’t know about you, but my definition driver pleasant trail is one that is relaxing, void drama and bring everyone back in good shape without any call closure or. Am asking for too much? Undoubtedly happens things out on the trail, but will you far more prepared for what may come and will be able to avoid confusion careless if adhering to the 9 rules and are listed below!


1. never go alone! Simply is not smart! In addition to the trail are simply too many variables.You do not have control over things arenas. Not too long ago My student and me while out on the trail he came across the neighbor horse was notified to it. He was laying there cannot move because later we find it had broken his back. I cannot help but wonder how long it would have laid down therein, if we can’t find him?


2. Always wear a helmet! I don’t believe how often people Think just because you are determined to run casual trace do not need a helmet. I had a friend Dear go out with her daughter adults on well trained, well przyprawionym trail horses. Both riders Are qualified and thought unnecessary wear a helmet.Horse daughter slipped that sent them both failure to crush the head on some concrete and putting its coma for quite a long time., she has survived after months of agonizing therapy, but its experience could be very different was it worn a helmet.


3. Take your mobile phone. In this day and age this opinion is “no brainer” and if you do not need to bring it along when someone else is. Could end up being their hero and always a nice thing to do.


4. Find your order and keep it. Horses have a pecking order, and if you can run with horses you know well enough it doesn’t take long before you know who is happiest leading and who would rather do. Don’t rock the boat!You can work long and hard, trying to change, but Why not accept things as they are? How do you prove after all … the compound feedingstuff driver trace should be for pleasure not transform it stressful battles that rarely can be won in one session, if ever.


5. Never Let your horse run Back to the barn or up hills for that matter.Horses are creatures of habituation and is far too easy for them to start programmed especially towards something wants it appears that the future before the end of this common mistake, because someday it will want to start at the top, as soon as disable some corner and then you have no control. If you must save it all for gallop heading in the direction away from the barn. You’ll thank me for this opinion someday.


6. Communicate. Always communicate your intentions. There is nothing worse than someone creating scenes by shredding blistering gallop without warning, all leftover in thither.You can get someone seriously injured people being so thoughtless and never amusing or fun see other loose control their horse.


7. Know your horse.Does your horse Wymyslcie?Is it prone to stalling?On the cross He insist in water? leading?Get anxious and equivalents?If you know your horse you are better able to be proactive about these and other issues.Some things simply cannot be avoided, but if you have prepared you can better cope with difficult situations.


8. does not hold too much.Remember, horses get concerned about, if you hold too tight reins for horse on relaxation needs place head down and extend its multiple are difficult for him to do, if you hold too tight reins and your legs. Sometimes may be catch 22, but there are ways to override its reactive instincts.


9. Watch your space; be careful getting too close to horses around you is one mare in season to give your gelding good swift Kick because he too close, setting off a predictable response chain with all others in the group Before it learn hooves and dust flying with strong you know both opportunities and horse riders get hurt all because someone wasn’t paying attention and respecting of riding.


So these are just a few rules, not all of them, but enough to give the idea that should be mindful of the operations you can perform with horses, if not for your safety and well, at least for your horse Horses get very upset when their rider falls or is upset in any way, if you care about anything its sensitivity to you and your horse then you can explore some of the things listed above.

Extreme caution is wykupujace it first and understand what things tend to shake it. This will make the process more secure and more effective in the long term.


The goal of using reins horse riding horse is the ability to control your horse and get it to do as demand during tug on the reins horse in detail. When you first get your horse, settle down to the support. Should grip reins in both hands and keep them around a foot apart. Eyes keep on shares of the horse to determine their tolerance for this process.If they seem uneasy, may want to learn from the ground, keeping the eye on the rear legs. If it is running, you should back up Deba, it settles down.


Start from just sitting there for a few minutes to get comfortable with the process. They ease to idea reins horse, on them. If they start dancing excitedly, horse, uninstall at a time.

That’s all! If you are to stay in proper balance and control of pitch and affect your horse to maintain its balance in the air the wearer must be pan-European.


And just look at the image of the horse in the process of going over the jump and get to know the position of the driver looks like by the way the horse is using his body.


If the horse drops his knees, takes them too soon or jumps on his chest before his knees, because rider is balanced on his neck with seat in the air too ahead of the saddle.This is because the rider slipping back leg behind the driver’s seat and do not support the weight of the upper body, requiring them to complete the task of balancing their arms are supported by the horse’s neck.


If the horse when going over travel drops its back-end or falls behind is fitted with because he has dropped their seat too quickly reverse horse Problem exists because the driver’s feet is too far in the future and to keep its position directly below the seat to its handling of the saddle.


Often the rider is both legs too far back and upper body in too far forward for starting only to loose their feet, too far forward on landing, throwing their seat for dorsal, causing the horse to not only have difficulty picking off until its front legs at the reception, but then drop back and coming too quickly from the rear.This happens when the driver’s legs is simply too weak to be in control where it must be continuously throughout the ride.


If you ride the horse, which is a new ski and repeatedly show incorrectly balanced position your horse will start to set up the habit of jumping not only in such a way that is efficient and is unsightly, but it could potentially hurt him or you can process it is worth mentioning the wear and tear on his body from producing a vast array of issues sometimes robustness.


If you run przyprawionym veteran that has been properly trained and have insecure position you bad fences, from time to time, but long term damages will be limited.That said, any heading bad rider finally take its toll, depending on how serious the problem is most likely the rider balance. old boy will simply start refusing sensors rider instability.


How do you know what your position? There are all kinds of ways to feel it but say you get the picture from the view side with you in the process of travel. If your photographer has a camera that can take several frames from take off to the landing so you can see the entire process of diving it is of great benefit. Viewing these pictures together, is simply that your weight to your leg directly under your seat to balance your body in each frame. Many years ago, when all we had my daughter would be devoted to VCRs countless hours analyzing video frame, he jumps, and until she has a better position than anyone has ever seen.


Of course there are other points good items that range from keeping up your eyes and head, having your elbows to and directly on your shoulder to your shoulders back with flat nice back but without proper support for your legs, but strong enough to stay directly under the seat in the rest of these points to the correct item in the body are difficult to achieve.


When I start with the rider is all about developing feet because without leg staying under the seat in every mind staying at the balance sheet is almost impossible.


How to teach you? Exercises! Drills, exercises, exercises.Constant practice in this regard for where the legs of the driver is forced to keep it in a position to maintain their balance exercises.Much like you would be playing piano practice scales or typewriters, keeping the leg correct must become instynktowna effect.Must be second nature and something you don’t have to think about so you can go to face difficult problems. Don’t are capable, competent leg you balance.It is not possible.


Let me share with you some of the exercises I ask My students to practice.See if your balance is challenged when any of these things?


1. “Two point”.Two point “” should be successfully performed on a walk, Trot and Canter;, (if it is known as a “seat half”) is a lifting of the seat directly off the saddle to keep it centered and not forward shifting.In doing so drop to your Heals, stretch your legs down and close your rental angle quadrant your weapons follow the front of the neck of your horse. now you can ski in “position”.You want your legs so strong and underneath you correctly point you retain this position without touching or leaning the Horsehead.


2. “Down, down until” are when the rider is repeated in rhythm change their diagonal over and over again to keep their seats connected between the two, at least when he is down in the saddle, the device body top and their leg not pushing forward with forward their Girth.


3. “Up, up, down” is simply the opposite of above when the rider when posting Trot suspends their body into the air in at least one additional step maintain rhythm and repeatedly steps as horse trots without reverting to props. to this end, the rider must keep their feet in their body to support them with the saddle.


4. Gymnastics! When you can maintain its position rider and was jumping, successfully is time to test their ability to hop without thinking, which is when I put them through Gymnastics lines and jump start to keep small crossrails and build them gradually through the sessions for the first time from the poles and moving to jumps to finally having the rider continue through line in the form of perfect.


You can master all these are successful, these images you can display again taken and the differences in both you and the horse jumping. Note your progress and always work to improve by challenging yourself with more difficult maneuvers such as jumping on the curve or up and down slopes.


Point is care and have fun while building your skills and your time. patient with both you and your horse and remember, although some riders are probably more talented than other thing that is most relevant to improving your desire and selecting a willing partner. Make fun for your horse I’ll either end up in the upper part of the world!
