Which is your favorite?
Choose appropriate clothing
If you’ve never ridden a horse, here are a few ideas you might need. Wear “Onion” clothing so you can handle a grayer or wetter day, and still stay in short sleeves in hot sun. Comfortable pants, like long stretch jeans. Sports shoes. Everything else, such as the bob, will be provided to you by the riding stables. Remember not to wear scarves or accessories with laces or ropes; they may attach to the saddle or get caught in shrubs.
Do you have any questions about this first obstacle?
First, you won’t be alone! The staff who will help you can reassure you and teach you. In the meantime, here’s some basic information: on horseback, you always climb from the left side, with your right hand resting on the saddle and your left hand firmly on the top of the saddle. The first foot to climb is the left one, which goes into the stirrup. A gentle momentum will lift you onto the left stirrup, then carefully bring your right foot over the horse’s body. Both feet in stirrups, heels down.
Here are many ideas for days.
Here, we are not talking about just an hour of riding. Let’s talk about a complete experience, a day where you will also have other experiences combined.
