Horse back riding advice(for beginners)

My advices for beginners:

1) Read about horses in books or the Internet to get to know them better.

2) Wear the correct attire for horse riding. Wear gloves to prevent friction on your hands from the reins.

3) Always bring and drink a bottle of water during break time.

4) Look at the horse’s expression to understand them. If the ear is back, it means that they are not comfortable or afraid. If the ears are upfront, it means that they are interested.

5) When getting on the horse, get on and sit gently to prevent back pain for the horse.

6) Do not rush! Be gentle and patient while learning. It takes more than 10 years to become advanced.

7) Never stop taking lessons even if you are advanced. There is always place for improvement.
