Horseback riding is very pleasant but it’s important to take safety measures so you and your horse will be protected from injury. One of the things you should do when you ride a horse is wear a helmet. A helmet should fit correctly so it will stay on your head if you would fall. Equestrian helmets are specifically made to protect the back of your head. Make sure your helmet meets appropriate safety standards and is ASTM/SEI certified. The chance of head injury is much lower when you wear a proper helmet.

Well I’ll explain to you what I did starting out. The very first thing I did was go to the nearest book store & purchased 5 to 6 books to read. Everything from horse health care, stall cleaning, horseback riding, techniques and anything else that had to do with horsemanship for beginners. I read all the books I purchased & also watched a few videos. I recommend buying yourself some natural horsemanship videos, you can find them all over the internet. After doing much research I went and searched for someone that trained horses for a living. I felt I was ready and confident enough to take on the task of actually getting my hands dirty and doing some of the things I read about and watched on video.

So I found a place at a boarding stable and ended up working a deal where I would work cleaning some stalls and the trainer would teach me how to train. This was great and worked out because I actually wanted to learn how to clean stalls first. Bet I’m getting a lot of frowns like huh! Yeah well my theory is how am I going to learn about the behaviors of horses, what better way to study them will cleaning stalls.

The riding part to me is just the icing on the cake, but you gotta have the cake to put the icing on. Which means you better know how to work with your horse, understand your horse and its good and bad habits while it’s on the ground because once you get in that saddle it’s a whole new ball game. So then I had a chance to work with a few horses that were at the stable for training and about a month later I decided to purchase myself a horse, by this time of working with some horses I knew what kind and caliber of horse I wanted for myself.

Mounting and dismounting can cause your horse to respond dangerously. This is because your entire weight goes to the side of your horse and causes uncomfortable pressure on his back. The saddle may also pull to the side. It may be easier to mount or dismount if someone holds your horse.

So I say to you beginners gather as much information as you can and prepare yourself, before you just go out and purchase a horse without any formal knowledge and think your going to train it
