Horse Riding?!?!?Recently I found out I was taking lessons with this girl that I was sharing the same Horse with For a show four months ago. While I was doing 2ft classes, she was doing the beginner w/t and w/t/c classes and she didn't even get high placings. Since then I had gotten a Horse (three weeks ago) and I have been riding. Well now she is taking lessons with me and this other girl! Also, I have jumped 2'3' and I am working with a green jumping Horse on x rails probably the whole winter unless we move up when he gets comfortable. I was supposed to be showing 2'3' this September if I didn't stop taking private lessons. It seems every where I look riders who were lower than me or on the same level are jumping 2'6' and getting better with each passing day. Some are leasing horses and half leasing and I am sitting here wondering 'how?'. Any Tips on really improving my riding? I can't two point or drop my stirrups on my Horse because he freaks out on the xtra pressure and the hitting stirrups (con) Also, I want to get more familiar with the Horse before I start lounging lessons with him and my mom. (We were going to start today because the indoor arena flooded and there was a circle left, but we didn't have the lounge line or whip and my mom said no Riding so we went home after leading him around.) I recently have been taught how to post right by my mom (one advantage over these other people because they all post up and down and their legs move. I am Riding hunters.) Any other Tips on really improving my Riding at home and on my horse? I am really serious about this because every video I see of me Riding after three days of the taping, I want to cry. (not literally). :) Yeah I know, 2ft isn't a big deal, but the highest I am going is 2'6' so yeah. I know I am not the best, but I really want to be good and do well. I am not trying to brag or anything because I know I have nothing to brag about. :) Wow, it looks like I confused some people here! Okay, the reason I am not Riding with out stirrups: I LOVE to ride with out my stirrups because I am crazy. My Horse used to be spurred to go back behind the girth and so if a stirrup hits him there, he will gallop. He used to be a barrels Horse and speed events. I can do it and I want to do it, but I need to get used to my Horse first and train him to see that it is okay. Two pointing: I have been two pointing my whole life basically. I am training him to except the pressure behind there and the shortening of the reins. We got it at the halt, walk, and we are starting it at the trot. I can't do it prolonged though because I need to release and sit to reward him. Jumping thing: I am not going to jump any higher than 2'6' or 2'9' probably in my life. So it is not technically fence height, it is equtation. *****I have a trainer and take lessons 1 a week and ride 3 times a week.******* Oh and I am training him over the winter. I just said that I will be doing cross rails all winter with him probably to build up his confidence. I just got him three weeks ago and his training WILL continue under the guidance of a trainer all winter and then in the summer/spring of 2008 we are going to show. [ Read More ]

Does Anyone Have Some Good Tips For Horseback Riding, For A Beginner Rider?I just got a new Horse that is For a beginner rider, and today I am going to go rider her, everyone says that she will teach me how to ride, but a few Tips won't hurt me.

But I have never ridden english and that is how I'll be Riding her. She is perfect on the ground but you never know. We arelooking into lessons this week but if I ride her beforehand I will know if Ishould get her trained more first.

Horseback Riding Tips For A Beginner?So I've recently started horseback Riding and I go to group lessons. They put me in a tad bit advanced class thinking I was brilliant (I'm a beginner you stupid blokes) anyways and My instructor gives me a hard time. On top of that I have an extremely stubborn Horse that doesn't want to move when I give her the signs-- can you give me tips? Oh and get this they already know how to canter and all I've done was trotting like WTF mate. They can't change the group lessons until the end of the next two months. [ Read More ]

I'm Going To Give Riding Lessons To My Friend...any Tips?I'm 15 and quite experienced with horses. My friend, also 15, has asked me to give her Riding lessons. She'll be using my show Horse (which has NEVER bucked and has no behavior problems at all) and she'll be Riding western in a halter because a bit would be too much For her to handle with a beginner who might have heavy hands. My mare is extremely sensitive and wouldn't be happy having a beginner Riding her in a bit. I know this from seeing other Beginners Riding her. My friend will be Riding in a round pen on a lunge line For the first lesson. I've never given lessons before, so I don't really know what to teach For the first lesson. Any tips? I really don't want to just put her on the Horse and lead her around. She wants to really learn about taking care of a Horse and riding... So what should I do on the first lesson? Thanks! actually, I'm self-taught. Never had true lessons. But all good answers! Thanks! Yeah, I figured to start with grooming and give an unmounted lesson so she knows certain cues and things that she'll need to know to ride my mare. Though she won't be loping For a while. My mare has got it in her mind that a western-pleasure lope is boring and she wants to run fast. So until she's got that fixed, no loping XD. So thanks people! This helped a lot. [ Read More ]
