You can have a formal riding lesson with an instructor, or you can simply have a lesson in riding.
For me every time I get on a horse I learn something new.
It does not matter if I am in an indoor arena or out in the open country along a winding trail.
Sometimes the horse is the greatest teacher of all.
Horse riding can be enjoyed by everyone and the age span is huge.
My last employer said that he first learnt to ride at age 30.
Now since I started around 7 years, I figured 30 to be old.
My mother has been learning to ride for about 3 years now and she is in her early 50's.
My father had a horse on our property, we had 6 acres and for some reason he got a horse.
I should mention that my father does not like horses.
I was probably 3 or 4 years old and it would be fun to ride whilst someone kept me balanced and lead the horse.
I never grew attached to the horse and for good reason since he always ran away with me when I was left to steer on my own.
If I had started with actual riding lessons at an earlier age, I would have had better control and knowledge.
Lessons help you develop a good seat which gives you excellent balance.
When your horse panics you are then able to focus your attention on getting him under control.
Without the lessons you may simply be hanging on for dear life praying for the horse to calm down and stop.
Horse riding lessons not only help you learn to ride correctly, but you also learn a good deal about your horse.
You will learn to pick up on his moods and subtleties and your instructor will be able to instruct and help you work with your horse.
A horse's life should not be about all work and no play.
Even top competition horses get to simply blow off steam.
Treat yourself, treat your horse and take him for a hack or trail ride.
When you have paid a lot of money for your horse and or you are riding competitively you owe it to yourself to have horse riding lessons.
A fit healthy horse when scared can be formidable beast; they have far more power and endurance than a horse that is ridden infrequently.
Taking lessons with your horse will help create your bond of mutual respect and understanding.
Your horse will know and respond to your cues.
When you are out in the open and the confines of the arena are a fading memory, your skill learned from your lessons really pays off.
The bond you formed with the lessons has established trust with your horse.
He is calmed and reassured by your voice, he knows you are confident in the saddle and out for a pleasure ride.
Horse riding is a fun sport, even in competition there is intense thrill and excitement.
Always ensure your safety as well asyour horse's and invest in some riding lessons to develop and strengthen your bond with your horse and your skill in horsemanship.
